Construction Skills Shortage
There’s never been a better time to look for fresh opportunities. It’s no secret that the UK has an acute skills shortage.
Nearly eight in ten firms are having trouble recruiting staff reports the Chartered Institute of Building. Most employers expect the skills crisis to extend well beyond 2005. In fact, the sector must find 88,000 skilled professionals over the next five years to satisfy demand, according to the Construction Industry Training Board.
Construction hotspots like London are already feeling the pinch. Professionals are urgently needed on prestige projects like Heathrow Terminal 5 and Wembley Stadium.
With work now starting on the 2012 Olympics project, demand for London quantity surveyors, site managers and professional staff within civil engineering, building and housing ,can only increase. New research from ConstructionSkills, the government-accountable recruiting and training organisation, shows the Games will demand 33,500 construction specialists. At least 3,000 of these will be quantity surveyors. So it’s more important than ever to know your true market value.
