Introduction to Construction

Construction is extremely varied and offers something for everyone – from carpenters, plasterers, decorators, electricians, and bricklayers, to engineers, surveyors and project managers. Beginning in an entry-level position you will have the chance to learn new skills and take on more advanced roles and maybe one day run your own construction firm. In construction, hard work pays off – after all, many company CEOs started out at the bottom.

How to get into the industry

The trades are highly skilled professions, but do not require high level qualifications. A vocational course and/or an apprenticeship are the best routes into these careers. The exceptions are surveying, architecture and so forth, where a degree is required, although these are possible via the apprenticeship route.
