what is a construction manager ?
Construction managers organise building projects to make sure they're completed safely, within budget and on time. On a day to day basis they may review plans with architects, surveyors and engineers, hire staff and make sure the site has the materials it needs, organise work schedules, monitor building progress and costs, check the quality of the work your team has done, report progress to clients, partners and local communities, maintain and promote health and safety and much more.
You could work on a construction site or at a client's business. Your working environment may be outdoors in all weathers, at height and you may spend nights away from home. You may need to wear protective clothing.
