Do you enjoy turning plans into clear, accurate costs and helping projects come to life before they even begin Want a role where your attention to detail and problem-solving directly impact successful builds

You'll have the opportunity to work on residential construction projects, collaborate with a growing team, and play a key role in making sure every job starts on the right foot. If you're organized, analytical, and enjoy working behind the scenes to make projects run smoothly, this could be the perfect fit.

Our Story Starts with People Like You

The two founders, best friends, were running businesses that needed great talent fast. So, they started building remote teams across countries like the Philippines, Colombia, and India. Not only did it work, it thrived. They realized that talent isn't limited by geography. With today's technology and high-speed internet, we're able to build high-performing global teams that support businesses across the U.S. So ClearDesk was born.

Today, ClearDesk helps U.S. businesses grow by building world-class remote teams. We don't just connect talent; we manage the entire experience, from recruiting to retention. And while we help clients thrive, we also stay deeply committed to helping our remote team members build real, lasting careers that support their lives and their families.

That's where you come in.

The Role: Electrical Estimator

Imagine being the person who brings clarity to every project before it even breaks ground. You're not just reviewing drawings, you're understanding the full picture, from materials and labor to the true cost of getting the job done right. When new plans come in, you dive into the details, connect with suppliers for pricing, and build accurate, complete estimates. If something doesn't add up, you catch it early and when there's a smarter, more cost-effective approach, you speak up. You don't just create estimates, you create confidence.

Behind every number is a decision that affects timelines, budgets, and outcomes. You help the team stay competitive, avoid costly surprises, and deliver quality work that meets code and client expectations. You'll collaborate closely with project managers, engineers, and vendors to ensure nothing is missed, while continuously improving your process through past project insights. When things slow down, you stay proactive, organizing systems, updating cost data, and preparing for the next opportunity, because in this role, preparation is everything.
