What entry-level positions are there in this field that an undergraduate college student might consider?
The project engineer role is the entry-level position on the path to becoming a superintendent or project manager. Project admins and project accountants are also available for those with different backgrounds.
You can also start as an intern. In my experience, I didn't study construction management or civil engineering. I started taking classes online and then began as a full-time intern, working my way up.
There are many different avenues to get into this industry. You don't necessarily have to be a construction management expert; there are many ways to enter this field.
This job is specialized and requires certain skills. However, if you have the right attitude, a willingness to work, and can collaborate with others, you will be fine.
