I oversaw ordering product for jobs that were to be installed or just pick up. I kept the estimator organized and informed about how jobs were coming along. I was also in charge of scheduling jobs on the calendar for contractors. This meant I had to order the product, know when the ETA was and book accordingly. Making sure costs matched up with supplier costs and that the dates worked for the customer. I also kept the price lists from all suppliers updated, in case there was any price changes or sales that we could offer customers. This meant taking the cost and creating the appropriate mark up price for selling. I answered emails and phone calls, as well as helping customers when they came into the store.
