ESTIMATOR NEEDED: We are searching for an estimator who can work between 25 - 40 hours a week. It's an in-house role, no travel involved, with flexible hours and possible partial work-from-home hours once trained.
We are looking for someone who is both methodical and imaginative. You must be methodical, because the work requires studying client's photographs, elevations, floor plans, and measurements to calculate square footage. The math involved is fairly simple multiplication, addition and subtraction, but you have to keep careful track of your own calculations as you work your way around the client's images. We are looking for accuracy.
You must be imaginative, because clients often forget to take certain measurements, or write them down in confusing ways. You have to look at their 2-D plans and imagine how the space works in 3-D, so that you might extrapolate "what's missing" from what's been given. Then you'd prepare measurement documents and emails to clients, asking, in effect, "this is what we think your room really looks like, is our understanding correct?" which requires patience, tact, courtesy, and clarity.
It's a good role for someone who is detail oriented and enjoys puzzle solving. If you happen to love geometry or writing formulas, that's a bonus, because you can find ways to speed up your work. The ideal candidate would also be comfortable doing QuickBooks estimates and invoices, though we are happy to train.
We offer competitive hourly wages, vision/dental insurance, retirement matching and flexible hours. Please email
juri@susanharter.com, with a cover letter and resume. NO PHONE CALLS OR VISITS.
