• Research and evaluate estimating software and tools that can reduce manual work.

• Explore AI‑assisted estimating tools and workflows where appropriate.
  

EV Charger Estimating

• Prepare estimates for EV charger installation projects using the company's estimating platform.

• Maintain accurate material pricing and update costs as market prices change.

• Track labor hours, wages, equipment costs, and other project‑related expenses.

• Use Google Workspace, including Gmail, Google Drive, and Google Chat, for communication and documentation.

• Use the company's EV estimating and material management platform for applicable projects.

• Maintain accurate bid records and status updates in Google Drive.

• Keep estimate files organized so the internal team can easily review and act on them.
