Senior Electrical Estimator

This isn't an entry-level "plug numbers into a spreadsheet" role.

At Winward Electric in Ogden, Utah, we're looking for someone who knows electrical construction inside and out... and can turn that knowledge into smart, competitive, win-worthy bids.

Pay: $100,000 - $115,00/annually + bonuses

Schedule: Full-time, Days, On-site

We Offer

If you've ever looked at a set of plans and immediately started spotting gaps, risks, and opportunities-you're probably our kind of person.

What You'll Be Doing (Where You Make Your Impact)

• Own the estimating process from start to finish-plans, specs, scope, all of it
• Break down projects into real costs: labor, materials, equipment, subs
• Lead quantity takeoffs and make sure nothing gets missed (because missed = expensive)
• Work closely with project managers, vendors, and subcontractors to build competitive bids
• Attend site walks and pre-bid meetings to get the real story behind the plans
• Identify value engineering opportunities (save money without cutting corners)
• Submit clean, accurate, on-time proposals-no last-minute chaos
• Help hand projects off smoothly once the job is won

What's the Job Like

• Fast-paced and deadline-driven-bid days aren't for the faint of heart
• A mix of independent work and constant collaboration
• Lots of problem-solving-plans are rarely perfect, and that's where you come in
• High visibility-your work directly impacts whether the company wins or loses projects

What You Bring to the Table

• 6+ years in electrical construction 
• 6+ years of estimating experience (commercial/industrial preferred)
• Strong knowledge of electrical systems, codes, and construction practices
• Experience with estimating software like Accubid, Bluebeam, or similar
• Ability to read blueprints like a second language
• A sharp eye for detail and the ability to juggle multiple bids at once
• Solid communication skills-you can talk to engineers, PMs, and vendors without things getting lost in translation
  
• Valid driver's license and willingness to travel to job sites as needed.

Why Winward Electric?

• You're not just crunching numbers-you're helping win real projects
• A team that knows their stuff and actually works together
• Opportunity to influence strategy, not just follow it
• Stability, growth, and a company that values people who get things done

If you like structure, solving problems, and being the person who sees what others miss-you'll thrive here.
If you prefer slow and predictable... this probably isn't your lane.
