A career in construction is not a one-size-fits-all picture. In fact, pursuing a career in construction may not even look at all like what you’d expect it to.
What does a career in construction look like?
There are careers in construction that involve the trades – those who are the physical backbone of the built environment, trades like carpentry, sheet metal, pipefitting, plumbing, and electrical. With the current shortage in skilled labor, a career in a skilled trade is viable, dignified career option with abundant opportunities and benefits.
But did you know there are careers in construction that don’t involve trades? You could have a career as a project manager, overseeing the pre-construction and construction process. Alternatively, you could be a cost manager in Seattle, or a forensic construction scheduler – identifying potential delays and working with project teams to overcome them.
Did you know there is an entire niche of marketing dedicated to the AEC world? You could be a marketing coordinator, helping grow the business in our Denver market and leading proposal efforts. The world of construction is truly multi-faceted in its career opportunities.
