Overview

Is this where you’re meant to be? At Midwestern Electric, a GreenArrow Company, we believe purpose and passion go hand in hand. This role leads the estimating lifecycle for complex commercial and industrial electrical projects from plan review through final proposal. You’ll translate drawings and specifications into precise quantity take-offs, develop labor units and risk assumptions, and craft competitive bids under tight deadlines. You’ll collaborate with project managers and executives during bid reviews, drive value-engineering options, and ensure a clean hand-off into project startup. This role is ideal for a detail-driven leader who mentors junior estimators and continuously improves cost databases and benchmarking practices. We’re a company that invests in its people—offering meaningful work, continuous learning and mentorship, and a clear path for advancement. You’ll work in a collaborative, values-driven environment with competitive compensation, annual bonus potential, and comprehensive benefits. Whether you’re based in one of our East or Southeast offices or working remotely from the Eastern U.S., you’ll find belonging, flexibility, and opportunity. As our CEO, Lloyd Kuehn, reminds us: “We take pride in providing safer and smarter infrastructure solutions for our communities. We differentiate ourselves in our markets because we have committed partners – our people – who are at the heart of business and pursue excellence in everything we do. We focus on exceptional experiences for our people, including protection, development, and engagement. Here, you’re joining a community that invests in you and celebrates your growth.” That’s what makes Midwestern Electric more than just a company—it’s a community of collaborators, problem solvers, and growth drivers who believe that doing great work also means doing good work. If this sounds like the place where your purpose meets your potential, then yes, this is where you’re meant to be. How You’ll Make An Impact
