Job Title: ELECTRICAL ESTIMATOR Company: A Large Stable Electrical Contractor With Multiple Offices Location: Richmond, VA Description: ELECTRICAL ESTIMATOR Company: A Large Stable Electrical Contractor With Multiple Offices Location: Richmond, VA Contact Information Name: Register to View Job Description We are a large electrical contractor with multiple locations serving special markets and regional markets. We are moving from centralized to local estimating to better serve local markets. Even after fifty plus years of growth and the addition of a number of branch locations we are ready to look at our overall approach differently. The local owners and contractors have been heard: “We want a local person we can deal with personally".  That is exactly what we are going to do. To really be responsive to the clients in the locations we have put physical offices, the estimating and preconstruction staff must be physically in those markets.  You are an electrical construction estimator.  You might have an interest in leading a new local effort for a high quality and well established company. You would be the person bringing local estimating to a location that has been served for more than ten years by the distant corporate estimating crew. The centralized estimating effort had worked moderately well when times were good and work was abundant, but that was then and this is now. The business has grown but the responsiveness, flexibility, precision and the opportunity to build key relationships with the local owners and general contractors is limited when the estimating folks are not truly local. That is why we are now talking to you. You would be coming into a quality company that has quality management as our local estimator in this division location. Although all the project managers can estimate, the bottom line is that YOU will be “it" until you have the volume up and you need to hire additional help. The estimating department and our system will grow under your direction. Being our first division estimator comes with meaningful responsibilities and potential rewards. Beyond being the personal clearly responsible, you will be able to define how the department operates and we hope to have you hire and grow the department as there is success. The business in this location has been as large as 35 million and as small as 10 in any particular year but I would call it a steady 15 million.  Every year we estimate a few whoppers and win one, but looking at your plate figure you are doing $10 million of the heavy lifting. Total dollars estimated to get there has a lot to do with your talent. When a very large requirement hits, you work with the corporate team and they are a positive bunch that are actually inclined to help. To succeed in this position you must be able to step in and run. Yes, we will have you orient inside the corporate estimating department but after that you will be running the show in Estimating. We feel you need to have been estimating commercial, institutional and light industrial electrical power systems construction for five years as a baseline qualification. It will be a matter of fit and passion after that. We can and will find a way to meet your salary requirements if we think you will fit well into the organization. We believe we can use your talents if you are a solid plan/spec estimator, but are willing to talk to veterans with conceptual skills.  We understand the value of all the skill elements that contribute to greatness in estimating which can include contract law experience, experience with negotiations, business development skills, risk assessment and capture skills, and we have an interest and the financial ability to hire a rung or two higher than the plan originally requested. The market in which you will estimate is a small-metro market.  The construction business there has commercial elements, institutional elements (libraries, museums, universities, hospitals), government and some amount of industrial business. If you must process a large requirement you will team the corporate estimating group, and that team is available any time you are beyond capacity. By being a team lead you still know the job and can interface with the locals, but you will have the help you need to take it off. The typical projects you will estimate may range from ten thousand to three million dollars. We bid specifications, we offer design assist and will do genuine design/build work. We have a substantial corporate engineering team we employ directly and that team includes stand-out electrical engineers and mechanical engineers (necessary for critical facilities electrical work) and our engineers are licensed professional engineers, so we can originate electrical and mechanical systems designs and stamp our own drawings. The company has always used high technology management tools. We use IT tools for estimating, job tracking tools, enterprise resource and financial management. Our local estimating department leader / division chief (you) have to believe in the use of information technology systems and the setting up of good standards for the estimating department. You are a computer capable person and a disciplined administrator. What that specifically means is that you are an organized person that can set up job control and filing systems. Your job file folders are clean and past work can be read and understood by others who know your conventions. You set up standards you stick with for project notes and project documents that are uniform. The file you keep are orderly and uniform (orderly means clean documents without all kinds of code, scribble, sticky notes and one of a kind cryptography that will mean nothing to anyone six months from now). You are willing to build the assemblies and templates for the database that make the system increasingly efficient and do whatever basic systems network maintenance that is required. You are a good business person in general and bring working business discipline with you. WHAT A CAREER WITH US OFFERS YOU The company been in business and has operated profitably for more than 60 years. We are a big national company that can leverage national agreements so we can buy out a job at the good prices. We pay all our bills and have for more than fifty years, so there is no vendor who would not love to talk to you. We have a strong corporate estimating department, leadership consists of down to earth people persons and there is help available there. This is a very stable environment. We have been a life-long employer for many of the people work with us. There is no reason to leave us because we have managed to capture the work over the years and we are in an area that is growing and will continue to grow. We employ some inspirational people, so you will have an impressive peer group, and we are large enough so that there is always a way for strong contributors to advance. Finally, we pay well and we share profits. Interesting work, good potential flow, great peers, good pay, buying power, respect in the community and a rock solid company is what it really is. If you look closely we look good. There is power and mentorship available from the top of the organization.  We have quality professional management with exceptional business development and contract negotiation skills as our leader in this location.  The character of leadership is critically important. We have a Division GM who chases the work, calls on the community, and a person with the polish, raw intellect, advanced degrees, training and drive to find the opportunities and build relationships for the company. We have an aggressive approach to business mining and his responsibility is that chase. Our Division GM is also and entirely rational, reasonable and straight forward person. If you can be counted on, he can be counted on. You will always be equitably compensated. We watch your individual performance and contributions and pay for that performance. Our salary standards are strong, but the bonus potential here is exceptional. Job Requirements Whether you

Job Title: ELECTRICAL ESTIMATOR: DIVISION CHIEF Company: A Stable National Electrical Constructor Location: Richmond, VA Description: ELECTRICAL ESTIMATOR: DIVISION CHIEF Company: A Stable National Electrical Constructor Location: Richmond, VA Contact Information Name: Register to View Job Description We have grown over the past half century adding branch locations and special capabilities business units to meet the needs of local markets, specialty markets and to allow the company to be responsive to the project sizes we pursue in those different markets.  You are an electrical construction estimator ready to be the center of an effort and to build an estimating department for one of our locations. We are offering you an opportunity to bring local estimating to a location that has been served for more than ten years in this particular location by the estimating department at corporate HQ. Taking this position means you will lead estimating in branch of a very large electrical construction firm that has relied on a centralized location for estimating requirements nation wide. That has worked moderately well. The business has grown but the responsiveness, flexibility, precision and the opportunity to build key relationships with the local owners and general contractors is limited when the estimating is not truly local. That is why we are now talking to you. You would be stepping into a quality company that has exceptional management as our first estimator in this division location. In this division location you are the chief. The estimating department and the systems will be initiated and grow under your direction.

We can and will find a way to meet your salary requirements if we think you will fit well into the organization.  It is possible that you are a committed estimator with a positive attitude and good skills for bidding specifications. We could make that work. If you have value engineering and design skills, that is another discussion. If you have conceptual estimating skills, that adds to your value as well. We understand the value of all the skill elements that contribute to greatness in estimating which can include contract law experience, experience with negotiations, business development skills, risk assessment and capture skills, and we have an interest and the ability to hire a rung or two higher than the plan originally requested.
