With annual revenues expected to reach over $15 trillion worldwide by 2030, more and more U.S. companies are pursuing international opportunities. It is projected that China, the United States, and India will account for 57 percent of all global growth in construction over the next decade according to PwC (Price Waterhouse and Coopers).

Each year, the weekly construction magazine Engineering News Record (ENR) publishes a list of the top 250 international construction firms. In 2018, 36 U.S. companies made that list, or just under 15 percent of the total. Eight U.S. companies were listed in the top 10 international firms.

Today anyone working in the construction industry should anticipate a future involving an international experience. The world is getting smaller, and the demand for infrastructure and building programs for roads, dams, power plants, water and sewer facilities, mass transit, and even housing in emerging and third-world countries is immense. Individuals pursuing careers in construction management who are interested in the international market will undoubtedly have the opportunity to track that venture.
