Your Job EPCOM Power is seeking an experienced Electrical Estimator - Repowering & Restoration to support the continued growth of our Solar and Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) Repowering and Restoration business. This role is responsible for developing accurate, comprehensive project estimates for complex retrofit, upgrade, repowering, and restoration projects across utility-scale renewable energy facilities. The ideal candidate will bring a strong background in electrical construction estimating, preferably within an electrical contractor, EPC, or renewable energy environment. This individual will leverage industry-standard estimating tools, field execution knowledge, labor productivity data, and market intelligence to develop detailed cost models, evaluate project risks, and support proposal development efforts. This position is preferably based in Scottsdale, AZ, Bedminster, NJ, Katy, TX, or Pleasanton, CA, with remote consideration available. Approximately 10% travel is required for customer meetings and site visits. Our Team Join a culture that values ownership, continuous improvement, and innovation, where you'll help shape estimating processes critical to large-scale renewable energy projects.
