Nearly two million people work in construction in the UK. It’s a multi-billion pound industry responsible for putting up everything from a housing estate to the site of the Olympic Games. Few industries offer so many different career pathways. If you enjoy physical work, you could help lay the foundations of a skyscraper, put up scaffolding around a famous landmark due for restoration or plaster the interior of an office building.

Alternatively, someone needs to make sure projects run on time and within budget. There are many places to put your creative skills to the test, whether assisting civil engineers or working as a stonemason.

No matter where you start, with determination and hard work there’ll be plenty of scope to climb the career ladder. You might even run your own company – more than one in three people in the construction industry does.
