Estimator Jobs in California

An Estimator in the sales industry is responsible for predicting the cost of a product, service, or project. Their role involves analyzing various factors such as materials, labor, location, duration of the project, and other variables that might affect the total cost. They may also be expected to negotiate with suppliers and subcontractors to achieve the most cost-effective solution.
