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.
