Jobs in Construction Industry

  • Construction Manager

One of the highest-paying of them all, the construction manager oversees everything from the planning and budgeting of a project to its full execution. As a construction manager, you will be dealing with everyone from the ground up, so to speak, so be sure you have the right type of attitude. A good understating of the construction industry, is of course, highly essential, and it’s for this reason why firms would most likely hire someone who has a degree in construction science or any related course, instead of just a business management guy.

  • Cost Estimator

As the title implies, a cost estimator deals a lot with numbers. For this reason, the job doesn’t exactly require manual labor but he certainly goes out in the sun on occasion. Budgeting is a cost estimator’s main concern so it is imperative that he has very good knowledge about financing, especially in a construction setting.

  • Skilled mason

Brickmasons and blockmasons are an important component of a construction project as these are jobs the call for very particular skills. A firm does not have time to rigorously train workers for specific jobs so it is understandable that they go for the skilled ones.

  • Carpenter  

Carpenters are a versatile breed, and this is why there will always be room for carpenters in a construction setting. Perhaps this stems from the fact that it is one of the oldest, if not the oldest profession, in the construction industry. Because of their versatility, carpenters are seen as one of the more secure practitioners in the field of construction. The master carpenters earn a lot as attaining such level is nothing easy and takes years and years of experience.

  • Electrician

Just like a carpenter, an electrician looking to land a good-paying job should be highly skilled. An electrician that has amassed enough experience through apprenticeship and actual work should be good enough to get hired by the better firms. Of course, it is expected that he has a great understanding of tools like the diamond core bit.
