Most Electrical Contractors Need More Than an Estimator.
They need someone who can see around corners.

Someone who can build strategy before the job hits the field.

Someone who can identify risk before it becomes a change order.

Someone who can win work, build teams, mentor estimators, influence operations, and help drive profitable growth.

That’s this role.

We’re looking for a

Director of Preconstruction

to lead our estimating and preconstruction efforts across commercial, industrial, mission‑critical, healthcare, manufacturing, and large‑scale electrical projects.

This is not a "head‑down estimator" position.

This Job Is Probably Not For You If...
