About The Position

As an Electrical Estimator II at Interstates, you’ll help bring complex data center telecom and fiber projects to life. You’ll turn drawings, specifications, and project goals into clear, competitive estimates that help clients make informed decisions and give project teams a strong foundation for successful execution.

You’ll work alongside clients, vendors, engineers, project managers, estimators, and construction teams from the earliest stages of a bid through project handoff. This is an opportunity to build specialized expertise in a growing market while working with a team that values your ideas and judgment.
