Construction Managers

Employment of construction managers is projected to grow 9 percent (much faster than the average for all careers) from 2023 to 2033, according to the U.S. Department of Labor. The growing complexity and number of construction projects; increasing demand for energy-efficient retrofitting of existing buildings; the need to improve roads, bridges, and sewer pipe systems; and the need for better cost management of construction projects have spurred strong demand for construction managers—especially those with experience and bachelor's or higher degrees in construction science, construction management, or civil engineering.
