As the construction industry pulls out of the global recession and AEC firms search for a new generation of talent, finding the right path forward to new opportunities is critical, said speakers at ENR's Global Construction Summit, held in New York on April 11.
The event reminded attendees of the importance of the construction industry that represents 10% of global GDP and generates $5 trillion in economic activity, as noted by Fluor Corp. CEO David Seaton, a keynote speaker. He said the firm's backlog now is 80% derived from global work.
