Electrical estimators are generally in charge of the bidding process for the electrical component of major construction projects and will perform tasks such as bid evaluation and pinpointing any deficiencies with bids from the suppliers and subcontractors.

There is an important project management aspect to this job. Apart from determining the amount of work that will be carried out as well as the cost, they must also create a plan of action, schedule, and calculate the human resources that will be required in order to complete the electrical project successfully. It is a high-demand position and in many cases, electrical estimators generally work on multiple projects simultaneously.

Because the jobs go hand in hand with general construction projects, many electrical estimators are also qualified quantity surveyors.
Additionally, this is a job that requires great interpersonal skills as well as good written and verbal communication. In most construction projects, you are going to be working with a team of other specialists that you must relate and collaborate with in order to give your clients optimal outcomes. Marketing skills are also important, especially if you will be working as a freelance electrical cost estimator. You will need that ability to win projects, deliver value for your clients and make money on a consistent basis.
