Discover a Career in Construction

If you're interested in pursuing a career in construction, now is your chance! Open Doors 2025 is set to return from March 17-22, offering a unique opportunity to experience the industry firsthand.

This event is organized by Build UK in partnership with the Construction Industry Training Board (CITB) and CSCS. Attendees can go behind the scenes at live construction sites, manufacturing facilities, offices, and training centers across the UK.

What to Expect

Participants will have the chance to:

• Take site tours and engage in Q&A sessions with construction professionals.
• Experience interactive activities that provide insight into various roles in the industry.

Why Choose a Career in Construction?

The average salary for a construction worker in the UK is over £44,000, which is nearly £9,000 higher than the national average. With over 180 different occupations and 100 apprenticeship roles available, there are opportunities for everyone at every stage of their career.

Insights from Industry Leaders

Tim Balcon, CEO of CITB, emphasizes that Open Doors is a platform for the construction industry to showcase the benefits of a career in construction. He highlights the valuable skills to be learned and the sense of accomplishment that comes from seeing projects completed.

Julie White, chair of Build UK, stresses the importance of this initiative to help meet the government’s aim to 'get Britain building'. She notes that nearly 90% of last year’s visitors expressed greater interest in a construction career after attending.
