For those considering a move to Poland, 2009 is expected to be a year when the fortunes of the construction industry continue to improve. With the Euro 2012 soccer championship on the horizon Poland says it can provide the extra stadia required should Ukraine be unable to meet their development deadlines.

In Poland construction companies expect a number of large-scale investment to begin in earnest by the end of this year or the beginning of 2009.
At the moment the key area of investment in Poland is road building and other associated civils works.

In 2008 the Polish construction industry has been experiencing a high level of development activity. However the figures for this year are down slightly on the figures for the same period last year.

From a recruitment perspective there is particular demand for a range of construction professionals, trades and experienced construction workers.

The most sought after construction personnel are
  • Civil engineers
  • Joiners
  • Construction and maintenance road labourers
  • Bricklayers,
  • Stonemasons,
  • Concrete placers,
  • Concrete finishers and related workers
  • Welders and flame cutters

Working hours in Poland cannot exceed eight hours per day and average 40 hours in a five day week. During a calendar year an employee may work a maximum of 150 overtime hours.

Construction job opportunities in the Middle East

The recent visit to Dublin of Khajeh Daloui, the Iranian government's deputy head of housing and construction, is another in a series of high profile initiatives aimed at attracting Irish contractors and construction professionals to take up construction jobs in the Middle East.

The fact that CIF's Director General Tom Parlon was also on hand to support the Iranian minister shows how important the Middle Eastern market is becoming to Irish building contractors looking to export their expertise.

In April Enterprise Ireland hosted the “Construction Opportunities in the Gulf States” seminar in Dublin where delegates heard high profile speakers from UAE and Saudi Arabia make presentations on construction product and services opportunities in the Middle East.

The Middle East now accounts for 30 per cent of all recruitment activity the goes through constructionjobs.ie. Construction professionals who have already taken up positions with firms in the region are finding themselves playing a key role in some of the world’s most exciting development schemes.
