The Opportunity

Rightway Recruitment is working on behalf of a well-established electrical contractor in the Lower Mainland of British Columbia. Our client has built a strong reputation across the industrial, commercial, and institutional (ICI) market, delivering projects with a disciplined, practical, and results-driven approach.

The business operates with a flat structure, strong internal systems, and minimal bureaucracy, creating an environment where individuals are trusted to perform and take ownership of their work. With a consistent pipeline of commercial projects, they are now looking to bring on an experienced Electrical Estimator to support ongoing growth.

This is a production-focused estimating role, suited to someone who can operate independently, manage multiple bids, and deliver accurate, high-quality tenders. The position is centred on execution, accountability, and margin protection, not business development or relationship management.

• Experience with LiveCount or similar takeoff software
• Ability to read and interpret full drawing sets
• Strong understanding of costing, labour, and project scope
• Highly detail-oriented and organized
• Independent, proactive, and accountable work style
• Strong communication skills

• Structured, system-driven estimating environment
• High-performance culture focused on output and accuracy
