Plumbing estimator

The job

You turn site visits and technician reports into written prices that customers can read. Most of your work is the jobs too large for a service call: whole-house repipes, bathroom and kitchen plumbing, tankless water heater installs, and sewer line repairs priced from camera footage. You measure on site, choose materials with the lead plumber, price the labour from our job history, and write a quote with a fixed total and a list of what is included. When a customer accepts, you hand the job to the dispatcher with a parts list.

A normal day

Mornings are usually two or three site visits in a company car: you measure, take photos, check access and the main shut-off, and listen to what the customer wants. Afternoons are at the office: you watch camera recordings from the drain team, build quotes, and call customers who have questions about a price. Most quotes go out within two working days of the visit. Once a month you compare finished jobs with their quotes, so the next price is closer.

What you need

• Three years of plumbing work in the field, or estimating for a plumbing contractor
• Able to read a camera recording and a floor plan
• Comfort with spreadsheets and a quoting tool
• A driving licence
• A background check before the trial day

What we provide

• Salary paid every Friday
• A company car for site visits, a tablet, and a laser measure
• Daytime hours, with no on-call rota
• Our job history: hours and parts for every past job
• A paid trial day with our operations lead

The trial day is one paid day with one of our leads, on real jobs. At the end you both say whether it is a fit; if it is, you start the following week.
