Electrical Estimator Jobs in Florida: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a electrical estimator in Florida?
The most direct path is to combine field or drafting experience with formal estimating training recognized by Florida contractors. Florida's Electrical Contractors Licensing Board oversees the state-certified and state-registered electrical contractor licenses, and familiarity with those requirements is a genuine asset in estimating roles. Most employers look for a degree in construction management or electrical engineering alongside hands-on project exposure. Earning a credential through the American Society of Professional Estimators also strengthens a Florida application.
Which companies hire electrical estimators in Florida?
Employers hiring electrical estimators in Florida right now include Palm Beach Electronics, CPPI, and Moss, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Florida's concentration of large design-build contractors, utility infrastructure firms, and commercial general contractors means openings are distributed across the state rather than clustered in a single market.
Which Florida cities have the most electrical estimator jobs?
Jacksonville, Tampa, and West Palm Beach lead Florida for electrical estimator openings, reflecting the concentration of commercial development, industrial construction, and infrastructure investment in those metro areas. Miami's density of high-rise and hospitality projects, Tampa's manufacturing and data center growth, and Orlando's continued theme park and mixed-use expansion all drive sustained demand for experienced estimators in those corridors.
Are there remote electrical estimator jobs in Florida?
Yes, and more than most construction trades allow. About 20% of electrical estimator openings tied to Florida are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, reflecting the desk-based nature of quantity takeoff, bid assembly, and vendor negotiation. The parts of the role most suited to remote work are preconstruction analysis and proposal writing, while site walk-throughs and owner meetings typically require an in-person presence.
How can I get hired as a electrical estimator in Florida with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry point is an estimating assistant or bid coordinator role at a mid-size Florida electrical contractor, where you support senior estimators on takeoffs and subcontractor solicitation before moving into independent estimating. Large Florida firms such as Wharton-Smith and Mastec periodically bring in construction management graduates for preconstruction rotations. Completing an apprenticeship through a Florida IBEW chapter and pairing it with coursework in Accubid or BlueBeam gives candidates a measurable credential that opens doors even without a full estimating portfolio.
Where can I find and apply to electrical estimator jobs in Florida?
