As a Construction Engineering Technician, you will work with home builders and general contractors, bid for construction work, and organize and supervise the participation of the various trades involved in a construction project. Construction management is a growing occupation regionally, and across Canada. You'll study in our new, state-of-the-art Kawartha Trades and Technology Centre.

The program covers:

  • The interpretation of construction documents, on-site building engineering and safe working principles, electronic surveying, estimating (labour, materials and equipment required for a project), Canadian building codes and construction management.
  • The characteristics of various building types - with an emphasis on sustainable design principles and an understanding of energy and environmental technologies.
  • Practical building layout surveys and quality control testing of various building materials in accordance with standards and regulations.

You will also gain extensive computer experience using general business software and specialized computer assisted design and drafting (CAD), construction scheduling, and estimating software. The capstone project in this program is a professional portfolio that documents your learning and applied experience - a valuable tool for your job search.

Graduates of the program will find employment in a variety of jobs leading to supervisory positions in the construction industry. Opportunities include working for general contractors, subcontractors, consultants, material suppliers, building developers and government departments as superintendents, site technicians, surveying assistant, estimators, inspectors, schedulers, or project administrators. The opportunity to start a contracting firm or to assume an existing company also exists.
