About The Position

At Winward Electric in Ogden Utah, estimating isn't just plugging numbers into software. It's about thinking ahead, asking the right questions, and building bids that actually win work. If you can look at a set of plans and immediately start breaking down scope, costs, and potential gaps... you'll probably do well here. The job is fast-paced and deadline-driven, with bid days moving quickly. It involves a mix of independent work and team collaboration, and problem-solving is a key part of the role as plans are rarely perfect. Your work directly impacts whether projects are won or lost.
