About the role
Pay: $70,000 – $100,000/year + bonus + cell phone allowance
LINX is hiring a Network Cabling Estimatorto support our commercial construction bid team, paying $70,000 to $100,000 a year depending on experience. This is a hands‑on entry into estimating: you’ll learn to price structured cabling projects across corporate offices, healthcare facilities, K‑12 and higher education campuses, and other commercial environments, working directly under senior estimators who will teach you the trade.
You don’t need years of estimating experience to apply. You need 1-2 years estimating network cabling work, a sharp eye for reading drawings and specs, and the discipline to keep multiple live bids organized without dropping details. This is a training-forward role built for someone who wants to grow into a senior estimating career at a national low voltage contractor.
Where This Role Fits at LINX
This is the entry point. Estimators who perform well take on larger, more complex bids and move toward the Senior Estimator level as they build a track record.
What You’ll Be Doing:
Assist in preparing accurate cost estimates for network cabling systems, including materials, labor, and expenses like travel, parking, and tooling
Support the development of bid proposals in alignment with project budgets and timelines
Scope & Documentation Analysis
Review project schedules, drawings, and specifications to understand the scope of work
Identify and document project requirements under the guidance of senior estimators
Create a Scope of Work document for customer clarity and for the Operations team to build from
Obtain pricing from vendors for materials and equipment
Build and maintain supplier relationships that support competitive pricing
Collaborate with sales, project managers, and engineers to ensure estimates meet project needs
Provide clear, organized documentation for every estimate and related file
Learning & Development
Stay current on industry standards, emerging technologies, and best practices in network cabling
Participate in training and mentorship with senior estimators to build toward the next level
Required
1-2 years of experience estimating network cabling projects
Strong foundational knowledge of network cabling systems, materials, and installation practices (copper and fiber cabling and pathways)
Strong proficiency with Microsoft Excel and Bluebeam Revu or a similar takeoff tool
Detail-oriented, self-motivated, and able to work in a fast‑paced environment
Ability to read and interpret construction drawings, specifications, and technical documents
Ability to manage multiple projects and estimates and keep details organized separately
This Role Is Probably Not Right For You If
You want to work independently on full bids from day one without oversight — this role is built around learning from senior estimators
You’re looking for a field installation role — this is an office-based estimating position, not hands‑on cabling work
Preferred:
Not Required
Associate’s Degree in Construction Management, Telecommunications, or a related field
1 year of structured cabling industry/field experience
Pay: $70,000 – $100,000/year
Bonus: Performance-based bonus opportunities available
401(k) with 50% employer match up to first 5%
Medical, dental, and vision insurance with FSA and/or HSA options
Short and long-term disability coverage
3 weeks PTO (vacation and sick combined)
8 paid holidays

Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
