Estimator / Project Manager — Electrical (Confidential)

Southwest Florida

$75K–$115K comp- base + incentive pay

A electrical contractor in Southwest Florida is hiring an Estimator / Project Manager to own commercial and residential projects from quote through completion. We have projects in the pipeline ready for you to take over on day one — this is not a build-the-role-from-scratch seat. Confidential search; employer name shared with qualified candidates.

The seat

You quote it, you win it, you run it, you close it out. Project size: $30K--up to $1-2M. Mix: commercial new construction, tenant improvements, retrofits, service, and selective residential. You will own roughly 2-4 active projects at any time across estimating and PM phases.

This is not a desk-only estimator role. This is not a PM-only role. If you want to specialize in one or the other, this isn't your seat.

Why this is different

Real ownership — you bid it, you run it, you own the margins
Must be able to quote without set of prints. Troubleshoot/retrofit
Active pipeline you inherit on day one
Direct relationship with Leadership- pricing decisions don't get rerouted through three layers
Growing commercial division — the right hire grows into the leader of this division

What you'll do

Estimating

Take-offs from plans and specs (commercial and residential)
Build labor and material estimates; develop and defend pricing
Vendor and supplier quoting; manage submittals
Bid review with Leadership before submission
Walk jobs with GCs and customers as needed

Project management

Run projects from award through closeout: scheduling, procurement, change orders, RFIs, billing milestones
Coordinate with field superintendents, foremen, and crews
Customer and GC communication; you are the project's owner externally
Manage job financials against your original estimate — hit the margin you bid
Punch list, closeout documentation, warranty handoff

What we pay and provide

$75K–$115K--depending on experience and the book of work you can carry
Incentive pay tied to estimating accuracy, project margin, and completion — specific structure shared with finalists
Vehicle
Health insurance options
Paid time off
Paid holidays

What we need

3+ years estimating electrical work, with at least 1 years also running projects as PM
Demonstrated ownership of projects
Residential electrical knowledge (panels, service upgrades, EV, generators) sufficient to estimate and manage residential work of jobs larger than 3 days.
Reads commercial and residential prints fluently. Can quote without prints
Strong written and verbal communication — you'll be the customer-facing voice on every project you own
Florida driver's license, clean MVR, passes background and drug screen

Not for you if

You want to quote and hand off
You need a large estimating team to lean on
You want pure commercial or pure residential
You're looking to coast — the work is real and the accountability is direct

Confidential process. Submit resume and a brief note on the largest project you've owned from estimate through closeout, and what the margin variance was vs. your bid.

Pay: $75,000.00 - $115,000.00 per year
