Prospects
for Construction Project Managers /Superintendents:
Future Employment
Opportunities
for construction management positions, including superintendents, will likely be
very strong through the year 2008.
The need for qualified
construction managers will continue to climb not
only to satisfy openings left by those exiting the field
but also due to the change in the way buildings are now being
constructed. Also, a host of new challenges will be introduced
by the arrival of new ‘intelligent structures’.
Management will see to
it that an entirely new era of building structure safety will be part of the
constructing process. Development-phase building technologies are being implemented in order
to address occupant safety and security in the coming years. So demand for the educated, practically skilled, and technically
aware will continue to increase with a bachelor’s
degree in construction management forming the norm, on the resume.
In the event of an economic downturn, or, if economic conditions happen to become become stayed
in recession, the current project manager may be counted among the more
versatile. The more seasoned managers and superintendents among the workpool
may have a more open door option for transferring or applying their expertise
to other areas of construction. This covers the general or even subcontractor
project manager. Which applies especially to those operating as consultants.
With most subcontractor managers employed in the Plumbing & HVAC
industries, many subcontractor project managers’ know-how may begin to
undergo even greater interchangeability and saturate beyond their area of specialty.
This pattern in general may be expected to continue.
Project managers in the residential sector can expect to benefit slightly from
increased new residential housing starts.
The management field will be affected by the trend of commercial
building construction and its re-development efforts as much as any field(s). Though managers involved
with rehabilitating and/or transforming existing structures may experience little
affect. However other opportunities should exist in areas such
as healthcare, security, defense and technology, from near term funding in these
industries.
