Construction Managers

Significant Points

  • Construction managers must be available—often 24 hours a day—to deal with delays, bad weather, or emergencies at the jobsite.
  • Employers prefer individuals who combine construction industry work experience with a bachelor's degree in construction science, construction management, or civil engineering.
  • Excellent employment opportunities are expected as the increasing complexity of many construction projects requires more managers to oversee them.
