Construction

Construction underpins our economy and society.

If you’re looking for a challenging career in a big field where your skills will always be valued and constantly in-demand, then the construction sector is the place for you. A vibrant, exciting and ever-changing industry with more than 150 different professions.

Careers within construction include roles within the wider built environment, modern methods of construction and research. There is a niche for everyone whether it’s site manager, quantity surveyors or plant operator, some roles are onsite and some are office based. 

The construction sector has a huge part to play in achieving green growth and net zero targets. Within the County we have Laing O’Rourke’s Centre of Excellence for Modern Construction.
