Welcome to the jobs in the civil construction industry!

See how at the centre we start with people with no formal qualifications, and it moves outward to people with degrees.

See how from the 12 o’clock position you start at the most technically civil roles, and then move clockwise to more general roles.

See how you can move through an entire career…including even if you want to set up your own business.

Now imagine yourself, or someone you care about, moving through the different jobs…constructing a career.
