Problem solving and decision makingLeadershipAdaptability

Construction managers plan, coordinate, budget, and supervise construction projects from start to finish.

Construction managers may have a main office but spend most of their time in a field office onsite, where they monitor projects and make decisions about construction activities. Their schedules may vary.

Construction managers typically need a bachelor&rsquo;s degree, and they learn management techniques through on-the-job training. Large construction firms may prefer to hire candidates who have both construction experience and a bachelor&rsquo;s degree in a construction-related field.

The median annual wage for construction managers was $106,980 in May 2024.

Employment of construction managers is projected to grow 9 percent from 2024 to 2034, much faster than the average for all occupations.
