A &#8220;lead&#8221; at one company runs a crew of two; at another it carries no supervisory duty at all. The federal government sidesteps that mess with the Standard Occupational Classification behind the BLS OEWS wage survey. Most site titles collapse into four SOC codes: Construction Laborers, First-Line Supervisors, Construction Managers, and Cost Estimators. Two titles, apprentice and journeyman, have no BLS code of their own. They are licensing levels, and BLS counts them under their trade&#8217;s code, such as Electricians, 47-2111.<\/p>\n<h2>Construction job titles mapped to BLS occupations and wages<\/h2>\n<p>Here is where each title lands in the BLS OEWS May 2025 national data.

The table shows both.<\/div>\n<h2>Are apprentice and journeyman construction job titles?<\/h2>\n<p>No, not to the federal government. Apprentice and journeyman are licensing levels a state issues inside one trade, not occupations BLS tracks on their own. Texas is a clean example: the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation states that &#8220;anyone performing electrical work must obtain a license prior to performing the work,&#8221; then lists apprentice, journeyman, and master as separate license types under the electrician license. A &#8220;journeyman electrician&#8221; is counted by BLS under Electricians, the same code covering the master and the apprentice.<\/p>\n<p class=\"pm__inline-cta\"><a href=\"https:\/\/swcostestimator.app.link\/ce-ai\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Turn a job-site photo into an itemized estimate, free &rarr;<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>What is the difference between a lead, a foreman, and a superintendent?<\/h2>\n<p>A lead still swings a hammer most of the day and directs a couple of people between tasks. A foreman spends more time directing, less time building, running one crew on one trade. BLS counts both under First-Line Supervisors, 47-1011, median $38.42 an hour. A superintendent sits a level up: multiple crews, multiple trades, one site. That is why the superintendent row above splits between two codes.<\/p>\n<h2>Where do project manager, estimator, and construction manager fit?<\/h2>\n<p>Construction Managers, SOC 11-9021, is the BLS home for titles that plan, budget, and schedule a whole project rather than run one crew. &#8220;Project manager&#8221; and &#8220;construction manager&#8221; both land here; BLS classifies by duties, not the label on a business card. Cost Estimators, SOC 13-1051, is a separate code for &#8220;estimator,&#8221; median $37.86 an hour, $78,740 a year.<\/p>\n<h2>How to use construction job titles when hiring or building a resume<\/h2>\n<ol class=\"pm__steps\">\n<li>\n<h3>Start from the duty, not the title<\/h3>\n<p>Write down what the person does all day: build, direct a crew, run a whole site, or price the work.
