One in four construction jobs are currently vacant and the sector is “very stressed”, an employment watchdog has revealed.
There is a demand for site managers, carpenters, and quality surveyors, among other roles, the Morgan McKinley employment monitor reported. “While construction is very sensitive to any downturn in the economy, the sector is currently very stressed with one in four construction jobs vacant," said Morgan McKinley Ireland’s Trayc Keevans.
"This is particularly the case with project managers, quantity surveyors, carpenters, and site managers as there is not the same level of talent coming through as there was before.” The monitor measures the pulse of the Irish professional jobs market by tracking the number of new job vacancies and new candidates in the Republic each quarter.
