Hottest Jobs in the Construction Industry

By: Kris

All thanks to the ever-increasing population, people are demanding more of everything, food, water, clothing and perhaps the most important of them all, shelter. It is the constant demand for houses, office buildings and other structures that is creating a demand for jobs in the construction industry. However, when we talk about construction, the only image that comes to our mind is the one of laborers working away with heavy equipment. Although this is true, there is definitely more to the jobs being offered in this industry. Actually, the construction industry comprises of many assignments, which come together to form a construction project.

The overall designing aspect in the construction industry is becoming very popular among the job seekers. In this respect, the design team would include the following job profiles:

Architects: The architect usually advises the construction contractor by preparing drawings and instructions with respect to the planned structure. The average income of the architect may range anywhere from $65000 to $75000. Architectural firms are always on the lookout for new talent and architects can also progress into high paying fields like real estate, project management, etc.

Surveyors: Civil engineering is incomplete without the aspect of surveying involved. Surveying is nothing but using scientific methods in order to determine the area and the feasibility of the construction project. This simply means that the surveyors form the brain by determining the points, angles and distance of the construction site. The average salary of the surveyor ranges from $55000 to $65000.

Construction Engineers: This job profile involves a lot of planning, including structural planning and its development, etc. However, due to the safety concerns in the construction industry, the construction engineers usually tend to focus more upon the paper work like viewing and studying the contracts, keeping a check on the available construction materials, etc. The average salary of the construction engineer ranges from $50000 to $55000.

Safety Manager: This is one of the most responsible jobs out there in the construction industry. Safety is main concern on construction sites due to the accident-prone nature of the work involved. The construction safety manager is responsible for maintaining and keeping the safety of the workers in mind, especially during the construction work. He has to make sure that he maintains the safety standards according to the rules and the regulations that have been prescribed by the State or the District Safety departments.

The construction safety manager is also supposed to monitor the safety and the health issues of the workers, which are covered under the company's health policy. Another duty of the construction safety manager is to investigate any construction related accident, especially those arising out of working with heavy equipment and machinery like bulldozers, cranes, etc. The average salary of a construction safety manager ranges from $75000 to $85000.

There are many more fields that you can set your eyes on, namely construction accounting, construction estimating, construction management, etc. The jobs in the construction business are most sought after, all thanks to the construction industry aiming at the construction of government offices/buildings, residential complexes and last not but the least, construction of highways and other roads. Thanks to all of these factors, the job market in the construction industry is witnessing a double-digit growth, which makes the construction industry one of the most sought after job markets in the 21st century.
