Construction managers may go to work for a number of different organizations. On the private side, general contractors, construction management firms, architectural or engineering firms, developers, financial institutions, and large corporations may all hire construction managers. On the public side, various state and federal agencies, public schools and universities, departments of transportation, federal prison systems, and others may seek their skills as well.

As in any profession, advancement opportunities for construction managers vary depending on an individual's performance, ability, and the size of the company they work for. The customary progression for a new construction management recruit is to start as a field engineer and then move to an assistant superintendent position, superintendent, estimator, assistant project manager, and then project manager. Within larger firms, highly qualified construction managers may eventually become top-level managers and executives, often moving to the vice president level or higher. Many construction managers will opt to branch out and start their own businesses.
