Are you kidding me???

From craig's:

******** ELECTRICAL ESTIMATOR NEEDED ********* -

Compensation: $20.00 - $30.00 per/hr

:-?
As a hack I can make more than that per/hour
As a qualified JW, I can make more
As a bonafide EC in NJ, I demolish that number

Who do they expect to inquire about this job?
Some clown who has managed to bury his own company?



I should see what this outfit would offer me for my mad skills ...just for fun.

EDIT:
A few posts down from this job offer is another....offering licensed EC's $50/hr.

Is the potential employer in NJ? Here the $30 an hour doesn't sound that far out of line to start.

I was under the impression estimators were salary guys with incentive programs.

 

[SiddMartin]

I imagine that $25 - $30 / hr would be right estimating w/ only 3 years experience (according to the add) Now if you are working for yourself, it would be different

and it would be a salary positition based off of that hourly rate, i imagine

 

[Mr.Sparkle]

3 Years experience to estimate jobs...............HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

 

[electricalperson]

i wish i made 30 an hour :smile:

Guess if I had clicked on the link...

Benny's also, post that here and your phone would be ringing off the hook.

Man I am pretty far from (below) $30 an hour and I am been in the field since 10-15-00.

JW's here are at about that rate for resi....with none of the pressure.

That would be between $40k and $60k /year.....and as a salaried employee if they say : "You gotta have this done for Monday at 8AM" ... and it's already 5PM on Friday ...it's not enough for a salaried employee here.

That is also relative...NJ is a high cost state.

Maybe whoever takes the job can make a bit more money replacing AC cords.

 

[LarryFine]

Heck, I'd be happy to pay an estimator that much.

Contact the poster, and ask they send all their resumes (except for the one they hired) to you.

I have a half hour or so to kill tom'row during business hours [Building dept. stuff :roll:]....I'll give them a call ...let's see if they can bump that number up some :wink:

We'll see if they want someone with experience that is going to make their company some money....or of if they just want a body to bury the company.

Spectacular....I can make $50 per unit, regardles of the number, and never mind the gas i would use going between the units, which may be between god knows how many miles apart......hmmmmm....

 

[sparky_james]
