To become a construction project manager, one needs to develop oneself as a mechanical engineer for 10 to 15 years, gaining expertise. Excellent grades during school and gaining an internship to become specialized help make a prospective project manager more desirable, as it is a competitive industry. Gaining a license as a mechanical engineer also helps one be more competitive. The typical day of a project manager involves managing school construction renovation design standards. A typical day also involves dealing with contractors and construction managers on a daily basis, as well as securing funding and overseeing a project from start to finish.
Construction project managers plan, coordinate, budget, and supervise construction projects from early development to completion.
