- High attention to detail. Accuracy is a core requirement of estimating and attention to every detail ensures a better level of accuracy.

-A good understanding of the basics of the electrical trade. In the USA, most estimators we talk with started out “on the tools” and developed strong industry knowledge over that time. This is invaluable for understanding projects and being able to grasp the context under which they’re producing an estimate.
US estimators we have interviewed may have started out as electricians, or they may have gone through a specific electrical estimation training program or apprenticeship. A fundamental understanding of what the job involves is still important. For example, laying the same length of cable under different conditions may involve differing labour costs.

- Strong interpersonal skills. You’ve got to be able to chat with clients and colleagues alike. Clients will often want to ask questions of estimators, plus, getting to know people in your community is one way your company can boost its chances of winning electrical tenders.

- Strong written communication skills. Estimators need to send queries and provide clear written details on estimates. It’s important that they’re able to communicate with clarity and avoid misunderstandings.
