Description

The role involves leading the development of detailed electrical cost estimates for large-scale, mission-critical data center programs. The individual will provide commercial and technical leadership throughout the project lifecycle, focusing on power distribution, backup generation, and critical systems. Responsibilities include performing quantity takeoffs, validating pricing models, and analyzing contractor bids to identify scope gaps and cost risks. The position requires partnering with engineering, procurement, and construction teams to inform system decisions based on cost, constructability, and schedule. Additionally, the role contributes to standardized design models and provides mentorship to junior staff.

Required Qualifications and Skills

Candidates must possess a bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Construction Management, or a related discipline, or have equivalent professional experience. A minimum of 7 years of experience in electrical estimating is required, with a preference for those with a background in data center or large-scale infrastructure projects. Applicants must demonstrate advanced technical knowledge of power distribution, backup generation, and electrical codes. Proficiency in estimating and takeoff software such as Accubid, ConEst, McCormick, or Bluebeam is necessary, along with the ability to interpret BIM-based information.
