In order to meet its employment needs, the construction industry recruits
almost a quarter of a million workers each year. That's a lot of jobs out
there just waiting for you. And, that's a lot of opportunities for advancement.
But,
working in highway design and construction industry means more than just
paving a street. There are many positions available in the highway construction
field in Federal, State, and local government as well as in private-sector
businesses, transportation companies and unions. Many of these jobs are
not always as visible or as readily identifiable as most highway construction
workers.
Jobs
available in the highway design and construction industry can be broken
down into the following functions:
- Design
- includes all professional occupations such as architects, engineers,
and business managers.
- Construction
- includes skilled positions such as diggers, pavers, drivers, mechanics,
and landscapers.
- Maintenance
- this function includes bridge and highway cleaners and grass cutters.
But why choose a career in highway design and construction? How does starting
salary double what you could make flipping burgers? Or, how about full
benefits including paid health insurance, life insurance, 401k retirement
accounts, free training, paid vacations, holidays, and sick days. Still
not sure, think about where you'll be in 5, 10, or even 15 years. Why
not consider a career where what you help build today can be seen and
appreciated for generations!
