TORONTO—Seems that everywhere you look nowadays there’re bright orange pylons and signs alerting you of construction zones. And maybe that’s because Canada’s construction industry has seen steady growth over the last several years, growth which will continue throughout 2014.

“The construction industry is often a reliable indicator of an economy’s strength, and right now we’re seeing very encouraging growth,” said Mark Bania, director of CareerBuilder Canada. “Not only has the construction industry added a wide variety of occupations over the past few years, but this growth has stretched across the entire country.”

According to CareerBuilder Canada and Economic Modeling Specialists Intl. (EMSI), employment in the construction industry has grown by 12 percent from 2011 to 2014, adding over 102,000 jobs and outpacing four percent growth for all jobs. One of those added occupations is truck drivers.

Here are the fastest-growing construction jobs:

1. Administrative officers jobs are expected to rise by 5.1 percent;
