How to become a Construction Project Manager

PROFESSIONAL INDEMNITY INSURANCE

FOR THE CONSTRUCTION PROJECT MANAGER

The previous edition highlighted the need of appointing a Construction Project Manager, as a key leading role in managing a successful project. This edition will now guide the reader to the process of becoming a Construction Project Manager.

At present, in Malta, the profession of a Construction Project Manager is not regulated by any local act or laws. The process for this to happen commenced earlier in the year and the expected outcome is the formal legal recognition of this important key player within the local construction industry.

To become a CPM, the Malta Chamber of Construction Management ensured that in the Chamber’s statute specify a set of criteria which are to be considered by the applicant as the minimum entry requirements. These are divided into two main sections: the minimum academic level requirements and the minimum years of experience expected from the applicant. For those applicants who have a vast experience in the industry but do not satisfy the minimum academic entry level, the MCCM ensured to support these individuals by providing fully accredited programmes targeted specifically for the role of the CPM.
