Losing track of electrical jobs between the office and the field?
Pocket Boss Jobs give multi-visit electrical work one home for the customer, crew, visits, milestones, photos, field notes, tracked hours, and one linked invoice.
Use appointments for individual visits. Use a Job when the same scope takes multiple trips, multiple electricians, or a checklist that continues across days.
Used by Electrical Contractors For
Every type of electrical work benefits from job tracking — from a quick outlet install to a full commercial build-out.
Multi-Visit Service Work
Group the diagnostic visit, return trip, and final walkthrough under one Job instead of treating them as unrelated appointments.
Panel Upgrades & Replacements
Schedule site work as one or more visits, assign the crew, track time, document milestones, and create one invoice from the Job.
EV Charger Installations
Keep the site visit, installation visit, photos, permit notes, milestones, and labor hours together.
Commercial Electrical Projects
Organize milestones, crew time, project expenses, photos, and separate invoices for multi-stage work.
Lighting Retrofits & Upgrades
Package jobs with fixture counts, wiring changes, and dimmer installs. Template common lighting packages for fast quoting.
Maintenance and Punch Lists
Group related visits, reopen a visit completed by mistake, and check off milestones as the crew works through the list.
Emergency Repairs
Record the problem, assign an available electrician, capture field notes and photos, and prepare the invoice from the same customer record.
Generator Installations
Present equipment, transfer-switch, and related electrical options in a tiered estimate the customer can review.
New Construction Rough-In
Create a visit for each workday, roll the crew's hours up to the Job, and keep progress photos and field notes together.
Job Management Features for Electricians
One Job, Multiple Visits
Group every appointment for an installation, upgrade, or punch list under one electrical Job.
Crew and Calendar Views
Assign a default crew, override the crew on a visit, and review Jobs in List, Day, Week, or Month view.
Rolled-Up Labor Time
Combine visit timers, time-clock entries, and manual time by employee, with live on-the-clock indicators for authorized users.
Photos and Job Log
Keep before-and-after photos and a timestamped stream of office and field notes on the Job.
One Job Invoice
Create one linked invoice with the customer prefilled and pull recorded crew hours using From Time Tracked.
Honest Status Rollup
Visits and timers determine whether the Job is Unscheduled, Scheduled, In Progress, or Completed.
How Electricians Manage Jobs in Real Life
Here's how a multi-visit panel upgrade uses the Jobs workflow.
Create the Job after scope is approved
Choose the customer, name the panel-upgrade Job, assign the default crew, and optionally schedule the first visit.
Add every planned visit
Create new visits or attach existing appointments. They appear on Scheduling and Dispatch while remaining grouped under the Job.
Let visits drive the status
The Job moves from Unscheduled to Scheduled, In Progress, and Completed based on its visits and running timers.
Document the field work
Assigned electricians use timers, add Job Log notes, upload before-and-after photos, and check off milestones from the field.
Complete the visits
As the crew completes each active visit, the Job stays current. Completing the final active visit marks the Job completed and adds the event to the customer timeline.
Create the Job invoice
Open Create Invoice for this Job, review the prefilled customer, pull crew hours using From Time Tracked, and send the finished invoice after review.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is electrical job management software?
Electrical job management software gives multi-visit field work one record. In Pocket Boss, a Job holds the customer, crew, visits, milestones, photos, job log, tracked hours, and one invoice.
How is a Job different from an appointment?
An appointment is one scheduled visit. A Job groups every related visit for a larger piece of work, such as a two-day panel replacement or a punch list completed over several trips.
Can I track multiple jobs across different electricians?
Yes. Jobs have List, Day, Week, and Month views, plus status and employee filters. Day view shows a column per technician so the office can see assigned visits.
Can one electrical Job have multiple visits?
Yes. Add new visits or attach existing appointments to a Job. Visits stay on the Scheduling calendar and Dispatch Board, while the Job provides one place to review the full body of work.
What can electricians update from the field?
Assigned electricians can complete or reopen visits, add notes to the Job Log, upload photos, check off milestones, and track time with the job timer.
How is Job status updated?
Pocket Boss computes status from the visits and timers: Unscheduled, Scheduled, In Progress, or Completed. Cancelled is the status an authorized user sets manually.
How much does electrical job management software cost?
Pocket Boss plans run from $19.99/month (Solo, one user) to $99.99/month (Boss, up to 25 users). Job management, scheduling, estimating, invoicing, CRM, dispatch, and inventory are included. Other products use different plans, add-ons, and per-user pricing.
Should I use a Job or a Project for commercial electrical work?
Use a Job for crew-focused work with multiple visits and one invoice. Use a Project when you need budgets, expenses, subcontractor costs, change orders, milestones, and multiple invoices.
How does invoicing work from a Job?
Each Job carries one invoice. Create it from the Job with the customer prefilled, then use From Time Tracked to pull the crew's recorded hours into the invoice before review.
Can I see all my Jobs on a dashboard?
Yes. Use List, Day, Week, or Month view and filter by status or employee. Job status stays synchronized with completed visits and running timers.
