Since 2010, offers for job seekers with project management ambitions make up the highest portion of management positions; a little less than one in three offers are directed towards them. Currently, however, employers are also looking for a large number of team leaders. Potential employees can choose from significantly more open positions than last year. Team leader positions no longer lag far behind those in project management.

The drop in the percentage of ads seeking professionals who coordinate or lead construction projects likely reflects the current mood in this industry. Employers are holding back due to fewer construction projects and an uncertain economic situation. By way of comparison: In 2023, the sample contained more job offers for construction managers and foreman than in any previous survey.
