Virtual Electrical Estimator

About Treehouse 

Treehouse is on a mission to accelerate the decarbonization of the places we live and work. We've built the go-to operating system for home electrification – partnering with brands like Toyota, General Motors, Rivian, and ChargePoint to deliver seamless, end-to-end EV charger and battery backup installations for their customers. We handle everything from scoping to permitting to installation, powered by proprietary technology that enables us to scope and design projects virtually at scale. We've completed thousands of installations across the country, built a growing roster of national partners, and are backed by strategic investors including CarMax, Holman, and Eaton. We're a small, scrappy team working on a problem that actually matters.


About the Role

We're looking for someone with hands-on residential electrical experience who wants to transition into a more technical, system-driven role. Instead of working in the field full-time, you'll evaluate projects remotely—reviewing photos, videos, and customer information to develop installation plans and proposals, primarily for EV charging and residential electrical work.


This role sits within the Scoping Operations team and is critical to ensuring every project is installation-ready before it reaches the field. You'll use your electrical knowledge daily, just from a laptop rather than a job site.


This is not a strict 9–5 role. Most weeks average around 40 hours, but workload may vary based on project volume. During high-demand periods, additional time may be needed to keep projects moving, with flexibility when volume is lower.


Responsibilities

The Virtual Electrical Estimator will:

  • Review project requests in HubSpot, including customer-submitted photos, videos, and site details and assess residential electrical setups—panels, circuits, and layouts—to determine the correct installation approach
  • Create clear, detailed scopes of work and project proposals that give the installation team everything they need to execute without surprises
  • Flag missing or unclear information early, coordinateing with internal teams or customers to resolve it before a project moves forward
  • Keep project records organized and up to date within HubSpot, ensuring clean handoffs and a reliable paper trail
  • Use AI-assisted workflows and internal systems to process projects efficiently and maintain quality at volume.
  • Operate within established SLAs and contribute to a "first-time-right" culture by minimizing errors and reducing the number of back-and-forth touches per project


Minimum Qualifications

Successful candidates will demonstrate:

  • Hands-on experience in residential electrical work (apprentice, helper, or similar - licensure NOT required)
  • Solid understanding of panels, circuits, and basic installation practices
  • Comfort and willingness to work on a computer for the majority of the day


Preferred Qualifications

Additionally, candidates may demonstrate:

  • Tech-savviness and open to using AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT) to work more efficiently
  • Experience in EV charging or residential solar/electrification projects
  • Prior experience in a remote or systems-based operations role
  • Familiarity with structured workflows, SLAs, and/or quality control processes
  • Strong attention to detail with a problem-solving mindset
  • Ability to learn and operate within CRM and workflow tools (HubSpot experience a plus)


This role will have an annual salary, plus equity and benefits. The salary range for this position is $60,000-75,000 annually. This is a good faith estimate of what Treehouse may pay for a new hire; actual pay may vary based on prevailing wages in geographic location and a candidate's knowledge, skills, abilities, related experience, education, certifications, and ability to meet required job qualifications.


Featured benefits include:

  • Medical insurance
  • Vision insurance
  • Dental insurance
  • 401(k)
  • Unlimited paid time off
