Senior Electrical Estimator Airports & Infrastructure

Senior Electrical Estimator

Company Overview

Would you enjoy being involved in executing large-scale complex infrastructure projects

Connico is a national construction consultancy known for its experienced team and commitment to exceptional client service. With deep experience in aviation and complex infrastructure we are continuing to expand our work across energy federal and defense markets.

Our work is technical but how we do the work matters just as much as the quality of what we deliver. Our core values of Respect Integrity Innovation Resiliency Inclusivity and Thoughtfulness guide how we work with our clients and with one another.

The Role

As a Senior Electrical Estimator you will lead complex electrical cost estimating efforts from early conceptual planning through final construction documents. You will use your technical experience and judgment to develop accurate estimates identify scope gaps and risks reconcile costs and help clients make informed decisions even when project information is limited or evolving.

This is a hands-on senior technical role. You will independently develop and review estimates while also helping strengthen Connicos electrical estimating practice through mentoring quality control knowledge sharing and the development of repeatable estimating practices.

You will work across disciplines and directly with clients project teams contractors designers and other estimators on complex infrastructure projects.

What Youll Do

• Lead and independently develop electrical cost estimates across all design stages from conceptual and Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM) estimates through final construction documents including Level 15 estimates for projects of varying size and complexity.
• Develop detailed material and labor estimates for electrical systems including Medium Voltage Low Voltage Communications Audio-Visual Security Video Surveillance and Fire Alarm systems. Research and develop unit pricing cost assemblies and supporting assumptions using current market information and sound estimating judgment.
• Think beyond the plans and specifications. Identify missing information scope gaps inconsistencies interdisciplinary conflicts and potential cost risks. Develop well-supported assumptions and solutions when complete project information is not available.
• Lead estimate reconciliations technical and quality-control reviews contractor bid analyses value engineering assessments life-cycle and benefit-cost analyses and coordination across disciplines to produce comprehensive and defensible estimates.
• Manage multiple complex estimating assignments and priorities while maintaining accuracy meeting deadlines and helping project teams deliver high-quality work that reflects Connicos standards and core values.
• Mentor and train developing estimators in conceptual estimating quantity takeoffs cost buildups reconciliations technical reviews interdisciplinary plan analysis reporting and Connico estimating practices. Help create training resources and repeatable best practices that strengthen the broader team.
• Take ownership of estimating data cost assemblies templates and reporting practices by helping maintain accurate current consistent and accessible information that supports repeatable results.
• Build strong client relationships and serve as a trusted technical advisor through clear communication sound judgment reliability and expert guidance. Participate in client meetings project site visits and industry events as needed.

• 10 years of full-time hands-on electrical estimating experience.
• A Journeyman Electrician License Master Electrician License Electrical Engineering degree or equivalent combination of electrical knowledge and experience.
• An industry-recognized professional certification license or advanced credential such as CCP CPE PCSE CEP CCE PE or another relevant advanced credential.
• Proven ability to independently develop high-quality electrical estimates across Levels 15 and all stages of design including conceptual and ROM estimates developed with limited information.
• Demonstrated experience leading complex estimating assignments integrating estimate elements across multiple disciplines meeting deadlines maintaining quality and communicating professionally with clients and project stakeholders.
• Strong ability to interpret architectural civil electrical and other engineering drawings and specifications across all levels of design.
• Expertise with electrical estimating or takeoff software such as IntelliBid Accubid On-Screen Takeoff MII MCACES or comparable systems.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office applications including Excel Teams Outlook and Word.

• Electrical estimating experience supporting aviation or airport projects is highly preferred.
• Experience with other large-scale or complex project environments including federal government Department of Defense or military facilities energy and utilities transportation and infrastructure industrial mission-critical or similar technically complex work is valuable.
