Job description

Job Details

Location: Boise, ID 83704

Salary Range: $55,000.00 - $62,000.00 per year

Shift: Swing

Remote: Fully remote (approx. 10% on‑site travel when needed)

About the Role

As a Field Service Estimator, you will own the front‑end operational integrity of projects. You will engage early in opportunities to gather requirements, build and refine scopes of work, and produce accurate estimates using internal tools, historical data, and industry standards.

You will work closely with operations leadership, field services, sales, and external field partners to ensure projects are priced and scoped according to execution reality — not best‑case assumptions. This role is customer‑facing when needed to clarify requirements and reduce ambiguity, and it is operations‑focused in how decisions are made.

What You’ll Do

• Join customer and internal discovery calls to gather technical and logistical details required to scope and quote work accurately.
• Translate customer needs into detailed scopes of work that account for labor, materials, travel, site conditions, constraints, and risk factors.
• Create and review estimates and draft quotes using internal tools, standards, and historical performance data.
• Document assumptions, exclusions, dependencies, and risks clearly so internal teams and customers understand what is included and what is not.
• Partner with field teams and subcontracted technicians to validate execution approaches and improve estimating accuracy over time.
• Value‑engineer projects by proposing alternative approaches that reduce risk, improve efficiency, and protect margin without sacrificing delivery quality.
• Support internal staff and external technicians by clarifying scope intent, job requirements, and execution expectations when needed.
• Build quoting efficiencies: improve templates, scope libraries, standard assumptions, and repeatable estimating workflows as the company scales.
• Help drive consistency across projects so delivery teams aren’t forced to “figure it out in the field.”

What Success Looks Like

• Scopes are clear, complete, and executable with minimal ambiguity and fewer last‑minute surprises.
• Estimates align closely with actual labor and material costs, protecting margin and enabling predictable delivery.
• The number of preventable change orders and field clarifications decreases over time.
• Field teams and partners understand what they are walking into before they arrive on site.
• Sales, operations, and delivery stay aligned through healthy, respectful challenge when scope or profitability doesn’t make sense.
• Estimating becomes faster and more consistent as templates and standards mature.

What We’re Looking For

• Experience in field services, low‑voltage systems, structured cabling, IT infrastructure, networking, or managed services environments.
• Proven ability to scope and estimate projects where real‑world constraints matter (multi‑site work, distributed field teams, varied site conditions).
• Strong understanding of how work is executed in the field — not just how it looks on paper.
• Comfort gathering requirements directly from customers and translating them into clear, structured scopes and next steps.
• Ability to communicate technical and operational details clearly to technical and non‑technical audiences.
• Strong judgment: you can identify risks early, challenge incomplete information, and defend scope decisions professionally.
• Organized and detail‑oriented, with the ability to manage multiple estimates/opportunities without losing accuracy.
• Experience working with subcontractors, vendors, or distributed technician networks is a plus.
• Familiarity with estimating tools, quoting platforms, or standards‑based scope development is a plus (we can train tools; we cannot train judgment).

Benefits

• Opportunities for advancement
• Extensive introduction and training in cutting edge networking technologies
• Paid Vacation Time / Sick Leave
• Paid Holidays
