Sr. Estimator - Skid & Integrated Power Systems - 5K Power

Sr. Estimator - Skid & Integrated Power SystemsElectrical Power Systems | Equipment Integration | Modular FabricationAbout 5K Power 5K Power is an electrical manufacturing, integration, and fabrication company delivering engineered power solutions across commercial, industrial, mission-critical, data center, energy, and construction markets. Beyond supplying single components, 5K Power integrates electrical equipment, structural steel, cable management, controls, and interconnections into complete skid-mounted and modular power systems to cut field installation time, enhance quality, and speed up project schedules.

Position Summary 5K Power is hiring a Senior Estimator – Skid & Integrated Power Systems with experience in packaged electrical equipment, skid fabrication, modular construction, or systems integration.

• Role Focus: Unlike traditional electrical construction estimating, this role requires taking multiple electrical components—such as RMUs, transformers, switchboards, switchgear, control panels, and generators—and packaging them into a complete fabricated and integrated skid.

• Core Responsibilities: Evaluates customer specifications, electrical one-lines, equipment drawings, structural needs, interconnections, and project scope to determine the full cost to design, procure, fabricate, integrate, wire, test, and deliver the final assembly.

Key ResponsibilitiesEstimating & Proposal Development

• Review RFQs, specifications, one-line diagrams, layouts, data sheets, and drawings to establish complete scope, exclusions, and RFIs.

• Build detailed Bills of Material (BOMs) and complete estimates for skid-mounted/integrated systems.

• Estimate costs for major equipment, structural steel, fabrication, electrical assembly, wiring, testing, engineering, PM, freight, and lifting provisions.

• Calculate fabrication and integration labor hours, evaluate vendor quotes, and identify cost-saving design alternatives.

• Generate final pricing for management review and customer proposals, and manage post-award change orders.

Skid Fabrication & Systems Integration

• Estimate complex packages combining MV/LV equipment (RMUs, transformers, switchgear, PDUs, generators, UPS) with structural steel, raceways, and weather protection.

• Apply manufacturing cost factors for structural frames, welding, equipment mounting, clearances, surface coatings, assembly sequencing, and shipping limitations.

• Account for structural details like lifting points, forklift provisions, and field reassembly requirements.

Electrical Interconnection

• Determine and cost interconnections between major equipment beyond standard line items.
