Compensation: $150,000 - $160,000
Location: Dallas-Fort Worth (local or willing to relocate)
Type: Full-Time | In-Person
Overview
A leading electrical contractor in the DFW market is searching for a Pre-Construction Manager with a true electrical engineering mindset. This role is for someone who can own conceptual estimating, communicate confidently with clients and engineers, and anticipate project needs early.
You'll support large-scale electrical scopes on 10-20M+ ground-up builds, with heavy involvement in healthcare, data centers, and other complex commercial projects. Ideal candidates are currently in an electrical estimating, preconstruction, or Chief Estimator-type position and still love the hands-on technical work.
What You'll Do
- Handle early-stage conceptual estimating for large electrical scopes
- Engage directly with clients, engineers, and internal teams
- Support design evaluation, constructability, and project direction
- Produce budgets, conceptual takeoffs, and detailed precon deliverables
- Review drawings and early project documents to guide planning
- Work closely with business development and leadership
- Use Bluebeam (heavy), Excel (heavy), ACCUbid, and Conest daily
This role does not involve managing anyone at this time — it's a hands-on preconstruction position.
Requirements
- Strong electrical estimating background (required)
- Electrical engineering mindset — understands design intent and how to build
- Experience supporting 10-20M+ ground-up electrical projects
- Strong client-facing communication skills
- Heavy proficiency in Bluebeam, Excel, ACCUbid, Conest
- Comfortable with healthcare, data centers, or complex commercial sectors
- Must be local to DFW or open to relocating
- Familiarity with other major electrical contractors in the region is a plus
