From Construction Dive:
Indeed’s 2018 list of the 25 best jobs in the U.S. includes nine construction positions – the most of any industry – with commercial project manager taking the top spot.
The other construction jobs on the online employment search site’s list are preconstruction manager (No. 5), construction superintendent (6), chief estimator (9), construction estimator (12), plumbing engineer (14), project superintendent (15), construction manager (19) and project architect (20). The tech industry had the next highest number of positions on the list.
Indeed made its selections based on a base salary of at least $75,000 a year and what kind of job opportunities were available for each position. According to Jed Kolko, Indeed’s chief economist, the construction and mining sectors experienced the fastest year-over-year job growth last year, and the uptick in construction spending and contractors’ plans to increase their payrolls contributed to the industry’s strong showing on this year’s jobs list. Even so, Kolko said overall Indeed searches for construction jobs are declining, meaning that employers will have to increase their recruitment efforts.
