Construction Manager

Construction managers are less involved in managing people and more involved in managing the project from beginning to end. They plan to avoid problems, procure resources needed to complete the job, establish and work within budgets, and maintain high-quality standards of construction progress aligned with all business goals. Project managers have responsibilities to hire needed forepersons, crews, and other professionals to accomplish the work. They oversee business contracts and obtain building permits for the work being done.

Project Engineer

Project engineers usually work in an office but may be in the field more than a construction manager. They are involved in schedule preparation, resource forecasting and planning, quality control, and performance management of vendors. They work closely with project managers and company executives to secure any resources necessary to push a project toward timely completion.

Field Engineer

Field engineers spend most of their time managing the daily construction processes of assembling building materials, creating safe and appropriate methods for building erection, and assembling and assigning manpower to accomplish everyday tasks according to established construction schedules.
