Field Coordinator: site visits and measurements
Washington Construction · Mount Vernon, WA · travel across Skagit, Snohomish, Island and Whatcom Counties
The job
You are the company's eyes on site. After a homeowner asks for an estimate, you:
- Confirm the visit with the homeowner by phone and review their request and photos before you go.
- Walk the project with them and record their goals, worries and choices in their own words.
- Measure every area (lengths, heights and areas, openings counted), with each figure marked as measured or estimated.
- Fill in our worksheet for the trade: roofing, siding, gutters, decks, kitchen, bath, flooring, painting or electrical.
- Photograph and video every area to our checklist, with a tape in the close-ups.
- Upload the packet the same day and write a clear summary our estimator can price from.
You never give prices, dates or promises. You pass those questions to the office word for word.
What we are looking for
- Detail: you measure twice, write it down on the spot, and catch what does not add up.
- Clear communication: you ask the next question and write summaries a reader can act on.
- Honesty: you say "I'm not sure, I'll check" rather than guess.
- Reliability: punctual, prepared, same-day uploads.
- Background: construction, a trade, home inspection, insurance adjusting or remodel sales.
Requirements
- A smartphone with a good camera, and comfort with photo, measuring and file apps.
- A reliable vehicle and a valid driver's license; you drive to homes across four counties.
- Safe work on ladders (eave height) and in attics and crawlspaces from the opening.
- Comfort with basic math: areas, linear feet, subtracting openings, feet and inches.
