Would someone with a record as convicted sex offender be able to find contruction management work?

Has he worked in construction? Did he do jail time? How long has he been out of jail? Has he held any other jobs since getting out of jail? How long ago as the offence? Has he had rehabilitative counselling?

Those are all questions that need to be answered before considering his next move. I went back to university in my 40s, and it isn't easy. The brain doesn't work as fast when you get older

It might be useful for him to approach a couple of construction companies, tell them the situation, and ask if they would hire him, if he had a degree. Whether they would may depend on exactly what his offence was. If he offended against a child, I doubt if anyone will hire him.

Honestly, given his age and criminal record, he would be better setting up his own company rather than trying to join an existing one. He could take on & oversee smaller jobs like renovations or additions. However, if people know that he's a sex offender, he may have difficulty getting projects.

Management implies that the owner would expect you to oversee a construction project. If the decision were mine I would think a criminal sex offender can't manage his own impulses, doesn't have respect for others boundaries and lacks judgement-and these are just the tip of the iceberg. If the guy wants to be a laborer, fine (as long as he's well supervised)…but not management. The liability is way too great.
