PLUMBING ESTIMATOR RESPONSIBILITIES:

The Plumbing Estimator visits residential and light-commercial sites to evaluate prospective repair, retrofit, and installation projects, generate cost estimates, and secure more business for the company. You'll attentively inspect existing systems, assess layout requirements, determine general project needs, and work with vendors to secure competitive pricing.

Your job doesn't end once we've booked the project. You'll stay in touch with customers throughout the process, answering their questions and keeping them informed on the progress. You'll also contact suppliers to verify lead times and secure competitive material quotes.
