Construction Industry
Discussion
Good morning/Evening my NZ cousins!
I few years back my wife and I fell in love with New Zealand and vowed to go back!
We would both love to go to New Zealand to work and see how it goes with a veiw to staying there.
I am a recent gradutae in Building surveying with 7 years previous experience in the construction industry. Are there many jobs about in theis sector? or is it hard to find work like here in the UK.
Would love to here from anyone in the construction industry to tell me what it is like over there and maybe give me a few pointers!
Cheers.

The whole of the construction sector is quite slow at the moment: residential, commercial, industrial and civil. The few most obvious exceptions are accelerated programmes from central or local government.
There will be a turn around, and it needs to start sooner rather than later, but exactly when, and which sectors and regions will lead the way I couldn't guess.
Our company has some building surveyors and contracts others as well. At the moment we are doing a lot more of that work in Aussie than in NZ.
Good luck

As Graham said its a bit slow, but I know for a fact theres plenty of work for those already firmly in the industry if your hungry enough to get it. There seems to be a lot of Project Manager positions in this industry if you can also do this as well. Pays to be diverse so you can slot into many senior roles to do well here in construction.

Well, it looks like the turn around will be starting fairly soon after all! Hope the OP likes Canterbury...There will be a turn around, and it needs to start sooner rather than later, but exactly when, and which sectors and regions will lead the way I couldn't guess.
