Construction and Engineering

Welcome to the dynamic world of Construction and Engineering

Our region is building an enviable reputation for STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths), with strong career opportunities across both the net zero transition and the wider economy. With offshore wind farm developments planned around the Highlands and Islands coastline, and major new manufacturing activity supported by the Inverness & Cromarty Firth Green Freeport, demand for skilled workers continues to grow.

Alongside net zero projects, employers across construction, engineering, digital, manufacturing and the built environment require a steady pipeline of skilled people to support housing, infrastructure, transport, public services and business growth. Together, these sectors offer long-term, diverse career opportunities across the region.
