Rick Willmott:
"With the well reported skills shortage in the construction industry, it is vitally important that the vast career opportunities available in the industry are understood and promoted. From construction managers to bid coordinators, quantity surveyors and estimators, there are so many roles for a long lasting career in our industry!"
