Electrical Estimators work with other industry professionals to prepare their costings.

Electrical Estimators should be organised and able to plan for a range of circumstances. It’s important you can communicate well and work as part of a larger team. Electrical Estimators must be good problem solvers and have excellent attention to detail. You might work on job sites as well as in the office in this role.
