Electrical Estimator at Prime Partners

About This Electrical Estimator Role

Hey there, it’s great to chat with you over coffee. Let me tell you a bit about what being an Electrical Estimator at Prime Partners is really like. Honestly, it’s a mix of excitement and challenges. One day, you might be diving deep into project plans for a new commercial building, figuring out the best way to balance costs without compromising quality. The next, you could be on-site, walking through a project to get a feel for the real-world conditions we’re working with. I remember last month, we wrapped up an impressive office complex project—loads of teamwork and a few late nights, but seeing it come together was hugely satisfying.

What Your Week Actually Looks Like

In a typical week, you’ll be knee-deep in detailed cost estimates for electrical systems in various commercial projects. It’s all about analyzing project plans and specs to nail down labor, material, and equipment costs accurately. We do a lot of value engineering here, always looking for ways to optimize costs. You’ll work closely with project managers, engineers, and suppliers to make sure our estimates are spot-on. One of the things I love is the collaborative spirit—we all pitch in to ensure everything runs smoothly. Our projects range from sleek new office buildings to cutting-edge retail spaces. The team is tight-knit, often sharing insights and strategies during our weekly meetings.

What You’ll Need to Succeed

Having a solid background in electrical estimating, especially in the commercial sector, is key. You need to be comfortable with the ins and outs of electrical systems, materials, and costs. Tools like Accubid and Bluebeam are our go-tos, so being proficient in those is a big plus. But more than anything, it’s about your practical skills and attention to detail. We look for folks who can keep calm under pressure and meet tight deadlines. It’s not just about qualifications; your problem-solving abilities and teamwork spirit are what truly count.

The Good Stuff

Now, let’s talk perks. Prime Partners offers a solid salary range of $46.34 to $61.23 per hour, based on your experience. There’s real potential for career growth here—we’re big on promoting from within and offering ongoing training and certifications. Plus, we genuinely care about work-life balance; flexible schedules are part of that. Beyond the paycheck, it’s the supportive culture and the chance to work on standout projects that make a difference. It’s a great place to grow your career and make a tangible impact.
