Introduction

If you’re a skilled professional in construction from Site Engineer to Quantity Surveyor 2025 offers more opportunities than ever before. But competition is strong, and employers are more selective.

Here’s how to make sure your CV and interview strategy stand out.

1. Update and Target Your CV

Recruiters and hiring managers don’t want generic CVs they want project detail.
 Include:

  • Project value (£), duration, and your responsibilities.

  • Technical experience (BIM, QA systems, sustainability).

  • Relevant training or certifications (SMSTS, CSCS, NEBOSH, etc.).

Make it easy to see your impact at a glance.

2. Showcase Your Skills Beyond the Basics

The industry is changing fast. Digital tools, sustainability, and data are shaping the next generation of construction roles.

Highlight skills in:

  • Carbon-efficient construction

  • Digital site management

  • Health and safety leadership

  • Stakeholder communication

These are key differentiators in 2025.

3. Prepare for Behavioural Interviews

More employers are using behavioural questions to assess teamwork, problem-solving, and leadership.
 Be ready with examples:

  • “Tell us about a time you managed a difficult subcontractor.”

  • “Describe how you ensured safety compliance under pressure.”

Concrete examples beat vague statements every time.

4. Be Open to Opportunity
