A booming construction industry

Construction is the fifth largest sector in New Zealand’s economy, employing just over a quarter of a million people.

Construction activity has been holding up against the COVID-19 pandemic and there is every expectation that this will continue well into 2026.

The National Construction Pipeline Report 2021 anticipates that construction activity will steadily grow to about $48.3b by mid 2024, driven largely by continued strength of the residential sector.

There is also sustained strong signals of project intentions for non-residential activity in this sector with forecasts of $10.3b in 2026.

So here is a real opportunity to establish yourself into the New Zealand lifestyle with your skills that are so keenly sort after by this sector.

Snow-capped mountains and beaches lie within a few short hours from cities, that are modern and thriving.   With a land mass greater than the United Kingdom and a population smaller than London there is plenty of space to play and live.

There is also space to develop and grow your career in the construction industry.
