What's broken on most utility contractor websites
We're getting messages through the site, but they are so generic that we still have to figure out whether this is a bid invite, capability question, or something we do not even handle. Most utility sites collapse project-fit questions, bid deadlines, and partner outreach into one vague contact form. That forces the team to spend the first response rebuilding context instead of acting on the opportunity or routing it to the right owner.
Cost of delay
A vague first handoff can cost the response window on a project invite, slow a capability conversation, or bury a higher-value opportunity under low-fit inbox noise.
Industry context lives at /for/utility-contractors.
What the connected website changes
What a Jobber-connected website does instead
The website queues utility contractors demand for Jobber before the handoff starts. On the native path, Jobber receives a standard Request immediately. On the custom path, the site can use Jobber's OAuth authorization-code flow and GraphQL API to create the Client first and keep inquiry-type, location, and scope detail attached before the office responds.
Native path
Use Jobber's native request path when the team mainly needs a simple way to collect project inquiries into the office workflow.
API or managed intake
Use the GraphQL path when inquiry type, company detail, deadline context, or geography need to be preserved before the callback.
Connection patterns
How the connection works
Native Jobber Request intake
The website sends the inquiry through Jobber's native request experience so the office sees a Request without a custom middleware layer. This works when the team can do the rest of qualification in the standard office workflow.
When to use
Choose this when the contractor wants basic website-to-office lead capture without deeper routing logic.
Custom utility intake + Jobber GraphQL
The website captures inquiry type, company, project location, deadline, and scope notes before a backend uses Jobber's OAuth 2.0 authorization-code flow and GraphQL API. That keeps project-fit detail attached to the handoff instead of buried in a vague contact message.
When to use
Choose this when bid invites and capability questions need different follow-up paths.

We usually find 3 Jobber handoff leaks on utility sites.
- We keep running into this: bid invites, capability questions, and general contact messages all land in the same queue.
- We keep running into this: the site never captures enough scope or deadline context for a confident first reply.
Workflow path
Typical utility contractors + Jobber workflows
Bid or project invitation
Trigger
A buyer or partner sends a project invitation with a real response window.
Capture
The website captures company, location, deadline, and scope notes before follow-up starts.
Platform handoff
Jobber receives a cleaner Request or Client-first handoff so the office can move it to the right estimator or business-development owner quickly.
Capability or partner inquiry
Trigger
A company wants to know whether the contractor covers a certain scope or geography.
Capture
The intake separates the capability question from project opportunities instead of burying it in the same inbox.
Platform handoff
The office sees enough context in Jobber to route the inquiry without rebuilding the story by phone.
Urgent project-fit question
Trigger
A prospect needs fast clarity on whether the contractor handles a specific type of utility work.
Capture
The website captures scope detail and next-step context so the first reply sounds informed.
Platform handoff
Jobber holds the handoff in one place so the office can respond with the right next step instead of a generic callback.

See your utility contractors site rebuilt around Jobber
We will show where the current utility handoff breaks and what the website should capture before the inquiry reaches Jobber. If the reveal shows the route fits, Instant is $3,500 setup + $1,250/month. The commercial step stays standard even when the route proof is specific.
If we're still using one vague form for bid invites, capability questions, and project-fit requests, the website is creating delay instead of removing it. Launch within 21 days of completed onboarding or the setup fee is refunded in full. Routing issues at launch get fixed at no charge. The 21-day launch guarantee starts only after completed onboarding, never at reveal intake or payment.
