2 Built environment recruitment key trends Despite post-brexit fears, the UK s built environment and construction sectors have remained strong despite concerns over the growing skills shortage across the industry. Although construction activity is expected to remain broadly flat in 2017 and 2018, the industry is expected to see growth in infrastructure and education projects which will offset falls in commercial offices and industrial factories. Major projects such as HS2, Hinkley Point C and the Thames Tideway Tunnel will be the key drivers of construction activity within the infrastructure sector and the government s 2017 Autumn Statement could signal further investment boosts across the industry. For built environment candidates and clients, the following information will enable you to benchmark the salaries and benefits you are offering or receiving. The data is from our in house salary survey, My Salary Tool, which contains salary and benefit information from over 15,000 candidates currently working in the engineering and construction industries. The data in this report is from salary data from surveys completed by built environment and construction candidates.
