Careers in Modular Construction

Join one of the fastest-growing sectors of the construction industry!

Would you like to be at the front end of the digital transformation of an entire industry, programming multi-million-dollar equipment?

Did you know that the modular construction process generates significantly less waste and is more sustainable than traditional construction?

Does the idea of transforming digital designs into an affordable housing project sound appealing?

How about driving to the same worksite location daily, and working in a climate controlled, safe setting?

Members of the Modular Building Institute (MBI) are actively seeking new employees with a variety of skills and experiences. Across the globe, there are:

  • Over 200 factories, each employing between 75-100 people in a variety of roles
  • More than 100 companies engaged in real estate development or general contracting services
  • Over 300 companies providing a variety of services (materials, design, financing, etc.) within the modular  construction industry

The modular construction process brings over half a project’s construction into an indoor factory setting for prefabrication and assembly. Career opportunities in modular construction are available in both traditional skilled trades and professional roles across the modular construction process.

Career paths in the factory include roles within accounting, administration, assembly/production line, design, HR, IT, marketing, purchasing, quality control, safety, sales, service, and more. Field work and on-site career paths include estimating, project management, site safety, transportation, setting and installation, and more. Traditional skilled trades like carpentry, plumbing, electrical, welding, drywall, tile, and painting are always in demand both in factories and on-site.
