Below is my code, tell me if you need more info, Thanks for helping

class _controState extends State<contro> {
  _controState();
  User? user = FirebaseAuth.instance.currentUser;
  UserModel loggedInUser = UserModel();
  var role;
  var email;
  var id;
  @override
  void initState() {
    super.initState();
    FirebaseFirestore.instance
        .collection("users") //.where('uid', isEqualTo: user!.uid)
        .doc(user!.uid)
        .get()
        .then((value) {
      this.loggedInUser = UserModel.fromMap(value.data());
    }).whenComplete(() {
      CircularProgressIndicator();
      setState(() {
        email = loggedInUser.email.toString();
        role = loggedInUser.role.toString();
        id = loggedInUser.uid.toString();
      });
    });
  }

  routing() {
    if (role == 'Freelancer') {
      return JobScreen(
        id: id,
      );
    } else {
      return JobScreenClient(
        id: id,
      );
    }

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    CircularProgressIndicator();
    return routing();

    inside your routing, role might be null before FirebaseFirestore's result get ready, try this:

    routing() {
    if(role == null){
     return Container(); // show empty widget like this or what widget you want
    }else if (role == 'Freelancer') {
      return JobScreen(
        id: id,
      );
    } else {
      return JobScreenClient(
        id: id,
      );
    }
}

    You have to add async/await to your code, because it’s future functions..

    void initState() async {
    super.initState();
    await FirebaseFirestore.instance
        .collection("users") //.where('uid', isEqualTo: user!.uid)
        .doc(user!.uid)
        .get()
        .then((value) {
      this.loggedInUser = UserModel.fromMap(value.data());
    }).whenComplete(() {
      CircularProgressIndicator();
      setState(() {
        email = loggedInUser.email.toString();
        role = loggedInUser.role.toString();
        id = loggedInUser.uid.toString();
      });
    });
  }

    routing() {
    if(role == null){
     return const Center(child: CircularProgressIndicator());
    }else if (role == 'Freelancer') {
      return JobScreen(
        id: id,
      );
    } else {
      return JobScreenClient(
        id: id,
      );
    }
}
