I work for an architectural millwork/casework company as an estimator. I take a bid set of blueprints, and specifications, determine our scope of work, and provide a quote.
I have worn several hats in this company, I started with the company as a panel saw operator. I operated a computerized saw which took big pieces of wood and made small pieces of wood, in the 10+ years with the company I have held almost every position in the shop including being a supervisor.
I have been in the office for probably 6 or 7 years. During that time, I have generated cut lists and material orders for the shop, been a draftsman (I hate drafting), and been a project manager. Managing projects has been, by far, the most challenging position I've held with the company. as a project manager I was responsible for managing multiple projects (I had 17 at one point) insuring that all aspects of our scope of work were completed accurately, an time, and were profitable.
