I am in the manufacturing business and there are going to be two job openings in the near future: One for an estimator and one for a project manager. They are both on the engineering aspect of our "jobs". I was thinking about applying for them to gain experience with engineering. I have my bachelors in computer information systems and enjoyed math but have no other engineering experience. The HR manager said they would train me but I'm wondering if I would enjoy this side of manufacturing. What are the tasks these two positions would have? Has any one else switched from an assistant to something engineering?

The estimator's responsibility is to estimate how much it will cost the company to manufacture or build a certain item. He uses drawings and project specifications for the items to estimate their cost and determine how long it will take to build or manufacture them.. The company uses his estimates to bid the work to a customer.
The project managers responsibility is to see that the projects the company is manufacturing or building, get completed for the amount of the estimate, or less, so that the company does not lose money, and that they get completed on schedule. The project manager usually handles most of the customer contact work once a project begins.
