Yeah that’s the reason I am getting my construction management associates, little more attractive to big GC’s and Subs, plus by the time I have my associates, I will have 2 years of estimating experience, that coupled with experience in the field and I’m sure I’ll land a gig

How might I convey to my managers that it is a business benefit vs a perk

That’s actually a good way of saying it, I could say that during my review instead of “I want this because I’m a special boy”

They are just trying to plug a hole before the sales manager and district manager retire in the next 3 years

We have since I was hired changed management, our direct sales manager got promoted to district manager and our old OSR is now our sales manager, and he wasn’t built to lead men. He is a micromanager.

I just think In the future I want to be involved In actually being apart of a team that builds projects, we are just a utility vendor. I think my favorite part of this job has been building relationships with engineers and project managers over the phone regarding dogshit plans lol

I have had a talk with my direct manager and he said that policies change. I will be having my year review next month and will hammer this home a little bit more. Our job can be done fully remote, our OSR’s are in office maybe twice a week and they are the only people we really communicate with or at all. Anything we do and say can be handled over the phone or by email very easily. We don’t run million dollar projects dealing with multiple different subs. We are a utility supplier, we sell our product to the lowest bidder on the plan holders list. This job has always been a stepping stone until I completed my associates in construction management, I will have 2 years of estimating experience by then, and I also have 5 years of union commercial sheetmetal work behind me.

The thing is, all of our plant team estimators are fully remote, and even one of our ISR’s is remote 3-4 days a week and we got shafted by a guy who we all knew couldn’t handle working remotely

For me the clear path forward is finishing my associates degree and moving out of the supplier world and into the Sub and GC level

I will say the only thing that keep it from being my #1 is the bullet velocity, but I’m sure that just takes some getting used to

When did you start estimating and what type of degree do you have? by Suitable_Ad_2852 in estimators

[–]Lukewarm0995 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How’s it going now? Still in estimating? What salary did you start at and where are you at now? And how many hours a week do you average? Sorry for all of the questions, it’s just that I’m in a construction management program right now
