    Career

    Career outcomes

    Career options for construction management graduates are many and varied. You might supervise large construction teams in the building of a new hospital, ensuring project milestones are met.

    • Site manager
    • Project coordinator
    • Building surveyor
    • Quantity surveyor 
    • Estimator

    Industry trends

    Employment across the construction industry has increased nationwide by almost 10% over the past five years and is expected to have an annual growth rate of 5.8% over the next five (2024, labourmarketinsights.gov.au).

    To improve housing supply nationally, the Australian Government has set a target of 1.2 million homes built by 2029. Meanwhile, there is a national shortage of project managers, estimators and quantity surveyors in every Australian state and territory (2023, jobsandskills.gov.au) – meaning job prospects in the construction field are very strong.
