Apartment buildings, commercial buildings, office space, warehouses, shopping malls construction is everywhere. With all this expansion come jobs. This is one of the strongest construction markets ever, in the whole country. It s a problem locally and nationally as well, says Scott Love owner of the Leadership Group , executive search consultants specializing in the construction industry. According to Love, project estimators are in short supply.
Superintendents are also in demand.
The individuals work at the project site and are responsible for the distribution of personnel and scheduling. Construction is breaking the paradigm that you need to go to college to make a good living, says Love. We can t hope to conquer the information age without educating our children. Education, testing and education funding are scalding issues themselves, but the job openings are sizzling. With severe teacher shortages nationwide and being in one of the fast growing areas in the nation, the Valley is not immune to overcrowded classrooms and deteriorating school buildings.
