There are so many opportunities that it makes sense to have a forum where industry professionals can hear about the opportunities available and employers can speak directly to them. All of our exhibitors are leading employers in the sector and this is the only event of its kind for the industry that is free to enter. If you’re looking for a new role, Construction Jobs Expo is the place to be on 29 September.”
Judy Byrne, Managing Director, Cairn Homes, says:
“As Ireland’s leading housebuilding company, continuing to recruit highly qualified and skilled staff is crucial to our business. Given the Construction Jobs Expo is Ireland’s new jobs and employment fair, putting construction workers directly in touch with employers in the Industry in Ireland, we felt now is the opportune time to promote and encourage workers to attend and showcase companies like Cairn, and the long-term prospects we offer, to the large talent pool in the construction industry in Ireland.
