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 [1] before studying construction management and pursuing an administrative career.
- 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.
