DFW Metroplex, TX | $70,000 – $85,000

Build the foundation for your estimating career with landmark electrical projects.

Linton Talent Recruitment is partnering with a well-established, highly respected electrical contractor in the DFW Metroplex to identify a

Junior Electrical Estimator . This contractor delivers complex commercial and industrial projects with a strong emphasis on safety, quality, and long-term client relationships.

This is an excellent opportunity to join a contractor with a deep project backlog, repeat clients, and a reputation built over decades—not a bid-only shop, but a company that builds what it estimates.

The Role As a Junior Electrical Estimator, you’ll support the estimating team in preparing accurate, competitive bids for commercial and industrial projects. You’ll gain hands‑on experience in analyzing project requirements, performing takeoffs, and learning the fundamentals of cost estimation, all while collaborating with operations and project management.

You’ll work on projects that are:

Technically challenging

Operationally complex

Delivered to repeat clients who value quality and reliability

What You’ll Do

Assist in analyzing drawings, specifications, and scope documents to perform takeoffs

Help prepare bid proposals including labor, material, equipment, and subcontractor costs

Support pre‑bid activities such as site visits, scope reviews, and bid meetings

Identify potential project risks and constructability concerns under guidance from senior estimators

Build relationships with vendors, subcontractors, and internal teams

Collaborate with project managers to ensure smooth transition from bid to build

Track bid data to improve estimating accuracy and processes

Stay current with NEC requirements, distribution systems, and industry best practices

What We’re Looking For

Some experience or education in estimating electrical, commercial, or industrial projects (internships, co‑ops, or 1–2 years in related roles acceptable)

Basic understanding of electrical systems, codes, and construction practices

Ability to interpret blueprints and contract documents

Highly organized, detail‑oriented, and motivated to learn

Strong communication and collaboration skills

Proficiency in Excel, Word, Outlook, and Bluebeam

Exposure to ConEst Intellibid is a plus but not required

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

$70,000 – $85,000 base salary, depending on experience

Long‑term stability with a contractor known for repeat business

Exposure to large, complex commercial and industrial projects

Collaborative culture that values estimators as strategic partners

Clear path for growth toward senior estimating roles

Interested in launching your career with a contractor that values craftsmanship, safety, and smart estimating?
