The past few years have been turbulent for the construction industry. We have seen supply chain delays, building delays, and soaring costs all threaten the stability of our sector. But it’s time to usher in a new era.
As the number of building projects continues to grow, demand for talent is rising. While this is great news for our construction and engineering professionals, it does place a degree of pressure on employers. Do they have the necessary skills in place to return to pre-pandemic employment levels? And after workforce reductions, how will they entice the best people for the job?
The challenge is to build a robust construction engineering workforce capable of withstanding the influx of projects blowing in on the winds of change – meaning that organizations are tasked with filling open roles, while building a pipeline of emerging talent to replace retiring workers.
