Technical/administrative support occupations

In technical/administrative occupations, you can develop a career path that takes you into any of the four construction sectors:

  • New Home Building and Renovation
  • Heavy Industrial Construction
  • Institutional and Commercial Construction
  • Civil Engineering

Careers in technical and administrative support may develop in a variety of ways. Consider this example of two office managers:

  • One might have a construction background and have worked as a Trades helper/labourer before studying construction management and pursuing an administrative career.

High school - Construction labourer - Work experience - College construction management program - Construction administration

  • The other might have gone to college after high school, received a diploma in sales and, after working in the construction industry for a time, decided to pursue an accounting degree. With her combination of experience and skills, she lands a job as office manager with a home building firm.

High school - College sales diploma - Construction work experience - University accounting program - Construction administration
