Career Opportunities
Graduates of the Del E. Webb School of Construction's doctoral program at Arizona State University have careers in architecture; engineering and construction industries; academia; and local, state and federal government.
The Construction Management program provides a foundation for those who wish to pursue careers as project managers, project engineers, estimators or schedulers and eventually become principals of firms engaged in the construction of industrial, commercial or residential projects.
The heavy construction emphasis area is preparation for careers related to public works such as highways, airports, bridges, utility systems, and water or waste treatment facilities.
The commercial and residential emphasis areas is preparation for careers in real estate development, home production systems, commercial construction, health care and special industrial building projects, and for entrance into the sustainable or green construction market.
The specialty construction emphasis is preparation for organization, leadership and management of the building process at the subcontractor level and for careers as contractors working with mechanical and electrical systems. It also is preparation for careers in management at specialty contracting firms, such as control systems, electrical distribution or heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems for large and complex facilities such as data centers, health care organizations and semiconductor manufacturing plants as well as commercial facilities.
