Grow Your Career with a Company That Invests in YOU

Ready to take the lead in estimating?

At TRIO Electric, you'll put your electrical estimating experience to work while helping other estimators grow. As a Senior Electrical Estimator, you'll lead bids, review estimates, and work with customers and project teams to turn project requirements into complete, competitive proposals.

This is an opportunity to combine hands-on estimating with team leadership and build a long-term career in commercial electrical construction.

Why Join TRIO?

· Take ownership of bids and help guide the estimating team.

· Work closely with project managers, field leaders, customers, and vendors.

· Continue developing your technical and leadership skills.

· Contribute to electrical projects from early budgeting through project turnover.

What You'll Do

You'll prepare and oversee electrical estimates while keeping the team focused on accuracy, scope coverage, and bid deadlines.

Responsibilities include:

· Planning estimating workloads, setting priorities, and assigning resources to meet deadlines.

· Preparing conceptual budgets, detailed takeoffs, and material and labor estimates.

· Reviewing estimating spreadsheets, proposals, and scope letters for errors, omissions, and scope gaps.

· Reviewing drawings and specifications across disciplines and resolving bid questions through RFIs.

· Soliciting and evaluating vendor and subcontractor quotes for complete scope and competitive pricing.

· Identifying value engineering options and documenting proposal inclusions, exclusions, and assumptions.

· Following TRIO's estimating manual and maintaining organized bid files and current estimating data.

· Training and coaching estimators, reviewing their work, and addressing skill or performance gaps.

· Comparing awarded estimates with actual costs monthly and using findings to improve future bids.

· Leading estimate reviews and project turnover, with clear budgets, scope details, quotes, and takeoffs.

· Supporting project teams with scope reviews, change order pricing, and site visits as needed.

Success means delivering complete estimates at or faster than TRIO's historical turnaround time while maintaining quality, with estimated costs targeted within 5% of actual purchase costs.

What We're Looking For

· At least 4 years of estimating experience and 1-2 years of leadership experience.

· Knowledge of electrical systems, materials, equipment, construction methods, and applicable codes.

· Ability to interpret drawings and specifications and develop complete takeoffs and cost estimates.

· Proficiency with estimating software, such as Accubid, and Microsoft Excel.

· Strong organizational and communication skills, with the ability to manage multiple bid deadlines.

· Attention to detail and the ability to identify discrepancies before proposals are submitted.

· Ability to set priorities, hold others accountable, and coach team members.

Hospital and healthcare project experience is preferred, but not required. A general contractor or estimating background is also preferred.

What Sets You Apart

· You catch the details that can change a project's cost or scope.

· You take ownership of deadlines and follow through on commitments.

· You give clear direction and help others improve their work.

· You build productive relationships with customers, vendors, and project teams.

· You use actual cost feedback to make the next estimate better.

Compensation & Benefits

· Paid holidays and paid time off.

· 401(k) plan.

· Continued education and professional development opportunities.
