Question

managerial work in architecture and construction
many find in their later careers, construction also has managerial positions, which require experience in the field. in construction, the manager has increased responsibility, but typically no longer works on the project. they usually focus on finance, office work, hiring and firing, scheduling, ordering equipment and materials, and more.
in order for an individual to move up the ladder to a managerial position, they must first start on a crew. as individuals progress to a managerial role, the company they work for may ask that they get a two - year associate’s degree in management administration. if the individual wants to be an architect, they must start as an architect assistant. architects plan and blueprints for a project and typically need a four - year bachelor’s degree.
math, design, drafting, or shop classes are all helpful for those planning to have a career in construction. high school students who go through a vocational program may make themselves more desirable to potential employers.
