Hi all,
I’m currently based in Melbourne, studying Project Management at RMIT and working in the construction industry. I’ve had experience in project roles and site supervision, and this year I’ll be working as a cadet estimator for a builder that focuses on industrial projects. After that, I’m likely transitioning into a graduate role in either estimating or contract admin, with the long-term goal of working my way into project management positions.
I’m curious about what the job market looks like in Japan for someone with my background, say a couple of years down the line. Are there opportunities in the construction industry for foreign professionals with project management degrees and some hands-on experience? What’s the general vibe of the construction industry over there in terms of career progression, work culture, and types of projects?
Appreciate any insight from people working in the industry or who’ve made a similar move!
