  2. Strong knowledge of electrical systems, drawings, and construction documentation.
  3. Experience with industry estimating software (Accubid preferred).

  5. Ability to manage multiple deadlines and operate independently with limited supervision.
  6. Strong communication skills for interfacing with internal teams, vendors, and subcontractors.
