JOB DESCRIPTION
Summary
The Window & Gutter Cleaning Estimator is responsible for visiting different residential and commercial/strata locations for the purpose of gathering various information about properties; i.e., gutter lengths and other characteristics, determining square footage of house footprints, areas and pitches of roofs, and assessing other particulars of a job, and potential hazards (or any other special details or particulars of a property).
Essential Functions
· The ability to work (includes driving) for 4 to 8 hours/day, including tasks such as driving, walking and, in some cases, inspect properties and their characteristics from Google (maps);
· A basic understanding of how windows and gutters are cleaned; i.e. methods, moss is removed, and pressure washing is performed, in order to make recommendations for performing specific jobs;
· An ability to interact with customers, homeowners, property managers, and other on-site maintenance staff;
· An ability to utilize technology to navigate using maps and GPS, and to digitally add/record notes about properties.
Competencies
· Demonstrate a great attitude and a willingness to learn;
· Works well independently, and collaboratively with office/administrative staff (able to contribute positively);
· Customer-focused;
· Possess good time management skills, self-motivated;
· Possess a rudimentary understanding of industry and worksite safety regulations and requirements, and how to perform all tasks in a safe manner;
· Familiarity with Fall Protection and electrical safety; i.e., working around power lines and safe limits of approach, in order to be able to identify potential hazards;
· Prepare Fall Protection Plans (where necessary);
· An understanding of ladder use and aerial lifts; e.g., man lifts, scissor lifts, etc.;

Work Environment
The work environment varies from job site to job site; however, not all jobs will require that you walk an entire property. For some jobs (and properties) a fairly accurate assessment can be made from a cursory viewing of the property from the front yard (and sometimes even from Google Maps). Most jobs will require that you exit your vehicle so you will be exposed (momentarily) to the elements and various weather conditions (of the day or season).
Physical Demands
This is a relatively sedentary role that requires a lot of driving; however, you will be doing frequent walking, but not for long periods of time, or for great distances. This job does often require the safe driving and operation of a full-sized pick-up truck (which is provided by the company).
