Download or read book Career As a Construction Manager written by Institute for Career Research and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-05-20 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: SEVERAL OF TODAY'S MOST REWARD¬ING AND LUCRATIVE CAREERS can be found in the construction management field. Construction managers (or CMs) plan, coordinate, budget, and supervise construction projects throughout the building cycle. They are sometimes called construction project managers (CPMs), general contractors, or simply project managers (PMs, a term also used to refer to non-construction project leadership, such as software development). Construction managers may work for large corporations, residential and industrial building companies, government agencies, and nonprofit institutions. They may be direct employees of the company sponsoring the project; work for outside engineering, architectural, and construction contractors; or be self-employed. While the size of the individual project will vary substantially from a home renovation to an airport, for example, construction managers are found in virtually every industry, including aerospace, transportation and logistics, retail and homebuilding. The median annual salary for construction managers averages almost $90,000, according to government statistics. Employment is expected to grow by at least five percent through the coming decade, due to a combination of new project demand and retirement of experienced managers. Construction professionals may work at corporate offices; at a single construction site; or commute between several job sites. Most managers work at least 40 hours per week. Some 40 percent of managers are self-employed. Would a construction management career be right for you? Technical training and experience in the construction industry are required to get started. The profession also calls for good management skills, solid oral and written communication abilities, and analytical and planning skills. Are you a natural planner? Can you see the big picture - not just the immediate issues in front of you, but also the steps needed to reach a long-term goal? Are you good with science and math? Can you weigh competing alternatives to determine the best solution? Are you organized? If so, you may be well positioned to succeed as a construction manager. While a four-year college degree is not mandatory, a growing number of employers look for a combination of formal training and on-the-job experience when hiring a new building CM. Additional certification from a professional organization can be important to advancing your career. Many construction managers are specialists in a certain industry (such as renovating schools or building new office parks). Managers must also keep up-to-date on new building materials and techniques, and use sophisticated software tools to track project costs and schedules. If you have good analytical and interpersonal skills, you can enjoy a financially rewarding career in construction management. A combination of training, hard work, aptitude, and positive personal traits can help you achieve personal and professional satisfaction in the construction management field.

Download or read book Careers in Infrastructure Building written by Institute For Institute For Career Research and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-04-13 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: SO IT IS TIME TO CHOOSE A CAREER! This time has been coming all your life and it will have a significant effect on everything that comes after. You owe it to yourself to give this decision all the thought and study that it deserves. So think big! Infrastructure is definitely big! Roads, bridges, dams and other public-works projects can be huge - the biggest things most people encounter on a regular basis. Infrastructure is also one of those things that people sometimes look right past, like it is not even there. Roads and bridges that people use every day exist mostly in the background. Most people do not give them much thought until they break down or fail to keep up with the times. Building and maintaining public infrastructure are the primary function of most units of government. Your city, even if it is a small one, probably spends millions of dollars a year on infrastructure. Your state may spend billions. The federal government spends hundreds of billions of dollars each year to build and maintain its own infrastructure and provide grants to cities, counties and states. With that kind of money on the line, it should come as no surprise that some of the most interesting and contentious political battles are fought over infrastructure. Infrastructure building is also a huge business and industry. Whether public or private, most infrastructure projects are the result of high-intensity bidding among a few well-qualified contractors. Politics always plays a role in the process, whether the contract is for the public sector or the private sector. Infrastructure building offers a very wide range of career opportunities, from entry-level construction jobs to more professional careers in civil engineering, architecture, hydrology, and even nuclear engineering. There are also numerous opportunities in supporting career fields like finance, accounting, and management. While the word "infrastructure" has been applied to a wide variety of specialties in recent years, including information technology and even financial services, this report will focus on the more conventional types of infrastructure often known as "public works"- basically anything involving tons of concrete and steel.
