Where and how can a Senior Level Estimator make a move within an organization

Estimators are often limited by the function from reaching the profit center roles of other managers. The best way to achieve advancement is to obtain sales and project experience that can help broaden an estimator’s experience base.
Some estimators choose preconstruction services to obtain more client and management interaction, others leave estimating altogether once they have reached the Chief or Vice President level, and move their careers into operations.
