Job Description

Leading Edge Electric is an electrical contractor focused on service work, tenant improvements, and special projects.

We are a values driven company building long-term relationships with owners, construction managers, and property managers who share those values and trust us to get things done properly. Our goal is to understand what matters most to our clients and deliver value that improves outcomes for everyone involved.

We are building a disciplined, well-run company defined by:

Clear expectations and accountability
Strong leadership at every level
Repeatable systems that drive consistent outcomes
A team that takes ownership and executes at a high standard

This is a place for people who want to lead, build something meaningful, and be accountable for outcomes.

The Role:

Reporting directly to the Division Manager, the Electrical Estimator is responsible for full-cycle estimating — from lead qualification through turnover to operations.

This role is about more than pricing drawings. It is about:

Understanding the client’s real needs through ongoing communication
Creating clarity before a job starts
Identifying opportunities to add value
Protecting margin by reducing operational risk

You will play a key role in shaping our pipeline, strengthening client and vendor relationships, while continuously improving our estimating systems.

What You Will Own:

Build relationships and communicate with customers to develop clear scopes of work that are aligned with project goals and value proposition
Build relationships and communicate with vendors for the procurement of project materials
Prepare timely, accurate, detailed estimates
Read and interpret drawings, specs, and tender documents
Identify risks, gaps, and scope issues early
Support operations with purchasing and change order pricing
Ensure smooth turnover to operations
Maintain a live pipeline report
Track estimate vs. actual performance
Present weekly estimating updates
Deliver post-job variance summaries
Contribute to continuous improvement of our estimating systems, processes and database

This role suits someone who is analytical, disciplined, and driven — but who understands that genuine, intentional relationships matter as much as numbers.
