The wide choice of career opportunities includes estimator, field superintendent, construction scheduler, expediter, project manager, survey crew chief, materials technician, architectural/civil draftsperson, and cost engineer.
Each year architectural, construction, consulting engineering, industrial, laboratory testing, materials supplier, and surveying firms contact Purdue Northwest seeking baccalaureate degree graduates for work in the Chicagoland Region and in other parts of the country. This trend should continue since there are statistics that the present enrollment of technicians and technologists will not meet the needs of this country for many years.
