Before you can work as a construction supervisor in the state of Massachusetts, you must pass a certification test. A significant part of that test is the coursework that is required before you can actually take the test. Along with three years of practical work experience, each contractor must first go through their coursework before they can take their supervisor test. Each certification is good for two years and then must be renewed.
Move your Massachusetts construction career forward with a supervisor’s license.
Types Of Certifications
There are three primary types of certifications for construction supervisors in the state of Massachusetts. They are:
• Unrestricted Supervisor For Structures 35,000 Square Feet Or Less
• Restricted One Or Two-Family Home Supervisor
• Restricted Masonry Supervisor
• Specialty Supervisor in Roofing, Demolition, Windows, Siding, Insulation, Or Solid Fuel Burning Appliances
Every job site and task must have the appropriate supervisor. An unrestricted supervisor is able to fill the role for any other type of supervisor need. If an unrestricted supervisor is not on-site, then a restricted or specialty supervisor must be available.
Work Experience Or Equivalent
Prior to taking a construction supervisor test in the state of Massachusetts, you must have either three years of documented, full-time work experience in the past 10 years, or one of the following equivalents:
• Two years of experience and the successful completion of a three or four-year construction program at a certified vocational high school.
• Two years of experience and a qualifying bachelor’s degree (other than engineering or architecture) from an accredited four-year college.
• One year of work experience and a bachelor’s degree in architecture or engineering from an accredited four-year university.
It should be noted that any construction experience that has been received while serving in the military, so long as that experience is documented, also satisfies the full-time work experience requirement. That would mean that three years of full-time construction experience in the military can be used to qualify for the supervisor test.
