## Welcome Jose Alvarado: Our New Project Estimator
We're excited to introduce Jose Alvarado, who has joined our team as Project Estimator. With his background as a Project Manager at Superior Installation, Jose brings valuable field experience and a fresh perspective to our estimating team.
### Getting to Know Jose
Originally from Long Beach and now calling Bonita, CA home, Jose knows how to balance work with adventure. When he's not analyzing project specifications, you'll find him exploring scenic destinations with his kids—with Bryce Canyon ranking as one of his favorite recent adventures.
**How Jose winds down:** Music and sports are his go-to relaxation methods after tackling complex project estimates.
**Always connected:** Like many of us in the industry, Jose never leaves home without his phone, staying current through Twitter, YouTube, and ESPN.
**Learning mindset:** Jose is particularly interested in expanding his knowledge of solar power—a growing segment in commercial construction that's reshaping how we approach sustainable design projects.
### What Jose Brings to Tangram
Jose's transition from project management to estimating gives him a unique understanding of how designs translate into real-world execution. This perspective is invaluable when developing accurate, comprehensive project estimates that account for both design intent and construction realities.
"I'm looking forward to getting to know my new team and bringing both experience and a fresh perspective to our projects," Jose shared.
### A Fun Fact
If Jose could trade places with anyone for a day, he'd choose to be a major league athlete—perhaps channeling that competitive spirit into delivering winning project estimates.
Welcome to the team, Jose! We're thrilled to have your expertise and enthusiasm as part of our growing Tangram family.
