Full Job Description
## Description Design Solutions and Integration is an employee-owned company providing automation, electrical, and mechanical services to major energy partners including Diamondback Energy, ExxonMobil, ConocoPhillips, and Chevron. Since 2001, we’ve supported oil-field operations with reliable, safety-driven solutions that keep projects moving. Guided by our core values—integrity, safety, accountability, faith, and innovation—we take pride in delivering dependable work for customers who expect the best. As an employee-owner, you’ll have access to competitive wages and a strong benefits package including medical, dental, vision, disability coverage, paid time off, a 401(k) match, and participation in our Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP). At DSI, we’re all invested in doing the job right. DSI is seeking an experienced Electrical Estimator with an Oil & Gas background to support our Permian Basin operations and field team of approximately 55 electricians. Based out of our Midland, TX office, this role requires frequent travel for field job walks with customers. Because many of our Permian projects lack formal engineering drawings, you must have the field knowledge to scope, design-build, and estimate projects directly from site walk-throughs and verbal customer requests. You will collaborate closely with the DSI Sales Team to secure new opportunities while partnering with Project Managers to ensure seamless communication, smooth handoffs, and alignment across all DSI divisions. Proficiency in McCormick Systems software is highly preferred. However, we are willing to train the right candidate who has strong industrial electrical estimating experience and a strong willingness to learn the platform. Company Vehicle Provided: Dedicated company truck and fuel card provided for all client job walks, site travel, and professional use. Technology: Company-issued cell phone provided for all professional use and field communication. ## Key Responsibilities Cross-Divisional
