Electrical Estimator - Data Center Fit-Out Projects

As an Electrical Estimator, you will play a critical role in delivering accurate, competitive, and well-documented cost estimates for data center fit-out and white space construction projects. Your work will directly influence project feasibility, pricing strategy, and execution success in mission-critical environments. Working closely with preconstruction, project management, field operations, vendors, and design partners, you’ll ensure electrical scopes are clearly defined, constructible, and aligned with redundancy, phasing, and live-environment constraints typical of data center facilities.
