Recruiting electrical estimators and project managers has become one of the most critical challenges facing electrical contractors today. While field labor shortages often dominate the conversation, many contractors quietly struggle far more with finding qualified professionals who can price work accurately, manage risk, control costs, and lead projects from award through closeout.

Electrical estimators and project managers sit at the center of profitability. Estimators determine whether a project is won or lost before construction even begins. Project managers influence execution, change management, cash flow, client satisfaction, and repeat business. Weak recruiting in these roles leads to underpriced bids, uncontrolled change orders, strained client relationships, and shrinking margins.

This article focuses specifically on best practices for recruiting electrical estimators and project managers. It is designed for contractors of all sizes who recognize that strong leadership and preconstruction talent are just as important as skilled field labor.
