In companies of the construction industry, especially in technical areas such as
engineering, work and even commercial, in which most functions need to be developed
by engineers with technical expertise, the division between expert and manager can
be superimposed. But being manager is not always desire for a technical engineer who
finds his personal recognition on the technical expertise of engineering. In the civil construction companies, vacancies for management tend to be more crowded, and to conquer them, if required, some specific skills that not everyone likes or feel motivated to develop them; have vacancies in the technical area exist in greater quantity, but in technical career can take longer for a professional to become manager or director, and not to lose these professionals with technical profile, some companies develop a parallel career also known as career Y. Not always the professional envisions a career management, then companies need to understand and recognize the professional if it is motivated in technical function or management.
