Are construction jobs in demand?

 

The short answer is yes, and demand is growing fast!

After a slowdown in late 2024, the UK construction industry is experiencing a rebound, with job vacancies rising by over 17% quarter-on-quarter.

 

With over 6% of the total UK workforce and more than 2.2 million total jobs, you'd be shocked to hear that there is still a serious skills shortage.

 

High-demand roles include:

Bricklayers, Carpenters, and Plasterers

Electricians and Plumbers

Site Managers and Civil Engineers

Architects and Surveyors

Riggers and Pipers

 

As the government invests £600 million to train 60,000 new workers by 2029, construction remains one of the most opportunity-rich sectors in the UK today.
