The construction industry is one of the biggest in the UK. Construction covers many areas of employment including civil engineering, construction of buildings and manufacturing of products. The sector is supported by national and specialist recruitment agencies looking to place candidates for positions such as site manager and welder.
Typical positions in the industry can include bids manager, maintenance, carpenter and design technician.
The most common route into the field is non-graduate with many of the positions being considered manual positions. Despite this, there is a lack of graduate skilled candidates for management and project management roles within the industry which is causing some concern. Management and supervisor type positions may require some further training and qualifications with the NEBOSH National Certificate of Health and Safety being one of note. More specialist areas such as town planning may need some postgraduate study in order to enter that field of expertise. The majority of construction companies are small to medium size companies, but the best prospect of entering the field may be to become self-employed.
