What's it like to be a Civil Project Manager?
Civil Project Managers (also known as Construction Project Managers) oversee large construction projects.

How to become a Civil Project Manager
Pathways to becoming a Construction Manager combine formal training with practical experience. Generally, Construction Managers have extensive experience in the construction industry, and hold a qualification such as the Advanced Diploma of Building and Construction (Management) (CPC60212).
