Hire Data Analyst for Electrical Services
Senior, direct, no layers

Most electrical firms lose work in the same places: a phone that rings while the engineer is on a job, a quote that is never followed up, a job that is physically finished but never certified, and a diary that looks full while travel time quietly eats the day. At the end of the month the firm knows its total invoiced amount, but it cannot say which job types made money, which quotes were declined and why, or whether a call-back was a materials fault or a workmanship fault. Those are the questions that decide whether a busy firm is a profitable firm.

The analyst work joins the job from quote to certification. Quotes are followed to booked, declined and deferred jobs. Completed jobs are costed with labour, materials and certification time, and grouped by job type. Call-backs are counted by job type and by engineer group, engineer hours are split into job time, travel time and idle time, and certification records are tracked to completion, so a job that is done but uncertified is counted as open.

From that joined job record, the firm can see which job types to promote, which quotes need a different follow-up, where travel time is the real constraint, and whether repeat work is coming from the routes the firm pays for. Book a free discovery call to check whether your job, quote and certification records can be joined on a single job before scoping the work.

Electrical businesses typically run a scheduling or job management system, a quoting tool or spreadsheet, supplier invoices for materials, and certification paperwork that may be paper or digital. The engagement reads exports from those sources, and the job identifier is agreed before any profitability figure is produced, because a quote, a job record and a certificate are only the same job if the business can say how they are linked.

Certification data needs a completion rule: a job is only counted as finished when its certificate is recorded, not when the engineer leaves site. The report states that rule, so a backlog of uncertified jobs is visible rather than counted as completed work.

An electrical business that completes this work should be able to say, for each job type, what it earns after labour, materials and certification, how often its quotes convert, and how often its jobs come back. Engineer time becomes a split of job, travel and idle hours, so a diary problem can be separated from a distance problem.

The work cannot make customers accept quotes or stop materials failing. It can show which job types, quote habits and travel patterns cost the firm money, and which jobs are still open because certification was never completed, so the firm's effort goes to the jobs and routes that repay it.
