By working in the field he means being on an actual commercial or industrial job site. You will probably not be swinging a hammer unless you go to work for a subcontractor. You will be tasked with doing whatever the superintendent or field operations manager needs you to do. You may be taking pictures and marking up drawings, shadowing a superintendent, etc. Being in the field gives you a good opportunity to learn how a project is built from the ground up and to experience some of the challenges that projects encounter.
I am a commercial estimator and I wish I would have gone into the field first. Once you become a pm or an estimator it is very hard to find the time to observe projects in the field.
Like one of the earlier posters said, you need to get an internship. Go to career services, they should be able to help you.
Yes!!!!
Finally, thank you! That's what I wanted to know. Now given this tidbit of relevant info:
1.) How does one go about trying to get this experience working with the super or field operations manager?
2.) Is the Post Bac certificate in CM sufficient enough in your opinion to satisfy at least the academic requirement need to pique the interest of the super or field operations manager I'd want to shadow?
