If you’re tired of being just another estimator behind a desk, pushing numbers for a company that doesn’t value your expertise, and you’re ready to help shape projects from the ground up, this is your opportunity.
White Light Electric is growing, and we are looking for a Senior Electrical Estimator / Preconstruction Leader to help drive our next phase of growth.
This role is ideal for an experienced estimator who wants more than just takeoffs and spreadsheets. We are looking for someone who can think strategically, develop strong scopes, identify risk, and help position projects for profitable execution.
You will work closely with leadership, project management, and general contractors to ensure our projects start clean, are properly scoped, and are set up for success in the field.

- Prepare detailed electrical estimates for commercial and light industrial projects
- Perform takeoffs, pricing, and estimate development using Trimble Accubid
- Develop clear scopes of work, clarifications, and exclusions
- Participate in preconstruction coordination and bid strategy discussions
- Identify risk, constructability issues, and value opportunities
- Assist with value engineering and alternate pricing when requested
- Support the handoff from estimating to project management
- Help build strong relationships with general contractors and project partners
What We’re Looking For
- Senior-level electrical estimating experience
- Experience estimating in a non-union environment
- Strong proficiency with Trimble Accubid
- Ability to independently prepare full electrical estimates
- Strong understanding of electrical drawings, specifications, and systems
- Practical field awareness and working knowledge of electrical codes
- Ability to communicate scope and pricing clearly and professionally
Preferred Experience
- Commercial tenant improvement projects
- Ground-up commercial construction
- Light industrial electrical estimating
- Participation in margin reviews and bid strategy discussions
- Experience supporting estimates through award and project turnover
Our Mission
Develop People. Power Projects. Build America.
Our Core Values

This role plays a key part in White Light Electric’s growth and preconstruction leadership. You will have the ability to influence projects early, help build strong scopes, and contribute to the continued expansion of our commercial and industrial portfolio.
If you’re ready to take ownership of the estimating process and help build something meaningful, we’d love to talk.
