3 Reasons You Should Consider A Career In Industrial Construction

The Appeal Of Industrial Construction

1. Job Availability
   In the current labour shortage, industrial construction employees are hard to find. This puts labour candidates at an advantage, as they have a wide range of jobs to choose from. This is a good opportunity to not only find a position that utilizes your skills but that offers the opportunities you are interested in and aligns with your values. Instead of jumping at the first open job you see, you can take some time to choose a company that you will want to stay with for many years. Other than pay, location, and job description, you may also want to consider growth opportunities, if the company has the right workplace culture for you, if there are any learning opportunities, if the job seems engaging, and more. When there are more jobs available in a sector, you have more freedom to choose the position that is right for you.
2. Long-Term Career Opportunities
   Working as a tradesperson or a labourer now is a great way to make good money, work with your hands, and get into the industry. But it doesn’t need to stop there. The industrial sector offers many career opportunities for those who want to stay with it long-term. As you build your years of experience and show your leadership skills and industry knowledge, you can move up the ladder and become a foreman, a supervisor, a project manager, or more. Some companies will also offer educational training opportunities to help you get more tickets and qualifications as you grow your career.
3. High Earning Potential
   Industrial construction often offers well-paying jobs because the projects are typically funded by large companies that want their structure built fast and reliably. These companies are often willing to pay their industrial construction team well. For example, welders in industrial construction can make anywhere between $20 per hour and $55 per hour depending on the project, the company, and their amount of experience. Industrial construction also offers lots of overtime potential, which can greatly increase pay for each project.
