Expert opinions on the best states for construction consultants
Are there any particularly good places in the United States for construction consultants to find work opportunities?
Becky Serbin
Director of Education and Curriculum, National Tile Contractors Association
Tile contractors are hiring across the U.S. and using several different online job posting sites. We even have an online form that those interested in the trade can fill out. When we receive them, they are forwarded to members in their area. If the person is located in an area where there is a union presence, they can even contact that office for job opportunities.
