Are you looking for a career that offers both personal and professional fulfillment? The construction industry presents a wealth of opportunities for individuals seeking a dynamic and rewarding path. With a growing demand for skilled workers and a variety of career paths, construction offers a stable and fulfilling field for those looking to expand their horizons. October is Careers in Construction month, so let’s dive in to see what makes a career in multifamily apartment construction worthwhile.
Demand for Housing and Competetive Compensation
The construction industry, particularly in the multifamily sector, continues to experience strong demand driven by the need for housing. According to the National Multifamily Housing Council and National Apartment Association, the U.S. will need 4.3 million new apartment units by 2035 to meet growing demand and address the shortage of affordable housing.
Roers Cos. aims to help address this need, which is why we’ve built up our in-house construction management and general contracting groups.
Beyond job demand, the construction industry offers competitive compensation packages that reflect the value of skilled labor and expertise. With a focus on rewarding performance and recognizing the contributions of our team members, Roers Cos. provides competitive salaries that align with industry standards. Additionally, we offer unique benefits such as an equity match program, allowing our employees to invest in the very projects they build. This provides financial incentives while helping to foster a sense of ownership and pride in our work.
The Rewards of Construction and Multifamily Development
One of the most rewarding aspects of a career in construction is the opportunity to see your work come to life. Whether you’re reviewing floorplans or overseeing construction projects, you’ll have the satisfaction of creating something tangible and lasting.
At Roers Cos., we specialize in multifamily development, which means you’ll be contributing to the growth of communities and providing quality housing for people. The positive impact of your work will be evident in the vibrant neighborhoods and thriving communities we help create.
“I have a unique role because I get to be part of every single project at Roers Companies from concept to completion. I see how the plans develop, where the interior design direction comes from, manage the team that adds additional design elements to the projects, and I see these projects grow into what becomes someone’s home. It’s truly incredible to be part of the impact that our team is making in the communities that we’re developing in. It’s hard to pick just one thing that makes this industry rewarding because the whole process is why I stay,” said Director of Design Burgundy Kolles.
A Culture of Growth and Development
Successful careers are built on continuous learning and advancement. Many construction companies have established career ladders that outline clear pathways for advancement. From entry-level positions to supervisory roles and beyond, individuals can progress through the ranks with experience, training, and demonstrated performance.
That’s exactly what Isaac Kendall did after earning his degree in business marketing and business management. He changed career paths after college, starting out as a laborer on a construction site. Isaac gained experience as a superintendent working on various projects including multifamily, hospitality, and higher education. He came to Roers Cos. as a general superintendent and now serves as the director of field operations for our general contracting group.
