ConstructionJobs.ie has seen continued growth in applications to Australia & New Zealand. Applications to Australia & New Zealand up to the end of July 2011 account for 40% of the total applications on the web site.

Construction giants such as Leighton, John Holland Group, Abi Group and others are using ConstructionJobs.ie as a valuable and unique service to lure construction and engineering professionals to the exciting prospects “Down Under”.

ConstructionJobs.ie has a niche jobseeker audience which is helping ensure companies get good quality and relevant candidate’s to match their requirements.

ConstructionJobs.ie recently visited the Working In Exhibition in London which indicates that this unprecedented demand for construction and engineering skills in Australia & New Zealand is set to continue on the medium term.

With slow growth in Ireland, UK and other parts of Europe, ConstructionJobs.ie is an obvious choice in terms of attracting new and fresh candidates.

Following a positive meeting in Dublin with Ciaran Canon, Junior Minister for Training & Skills, Peter Collier, Western Australian Minister for Training and Workforce Development and his Australian delegation attended the Working In Exhibition in London.

These visits to Dublin and London highlight how much the “door is open” for skilled workers in UK & Ireland to avail of the thousands of opportunities in Australia and New Zealand.

Australian and New Zealand employers are attracted to candidates in the UK & Ireland because of language, quality of education and cultural similarities.

ConstructionJobs.ie will continue assisting all parties in this large scale mobilisation of workers to these southern hemisphere economies.
