Construction Workers are in Demand in Carlisle

Growth in the construction industry in and around Carlisle is good news for workers, says Hays Construction & Property. The local recruitment consultancy, which has recently appointed new office manager Peter Cornwall at its office on Lowther Street in Carlisle, is keen to highlight the opportunities available for construction professionals in the area.

Projects currently underway in the area include the extensive development work taking place in Penrith town centre, worth approximately £80 million, and eight schools in Dumfries and Galloway are due to be built or extended over coming months. There are also numerous smaller residential and commercial developments taking place locally. The construction work underway in the area means that workers across all disciplines are in demand; however, senior quantity surveyors and senior engineers are particularly sought after at the present time.

Peter Cornwall, Office Manager at Hays Construction & Property, comments: ‘’There is plenty of work for experienced construction workers in and around Carlisle. Our extensive industry knowledge ensures that we work with the region’s best employers. Not only can we provide advice on the local market and possible employment options, but we can offer invaluable CV and interview tips assistance as well.”
