The federations want the Government to add the 18 professions to its Shortage Occupation list as part of its current review of migration as the UK leaves the EU.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\nConstruction is currently not a special case and is facing a slump in EU workers post Brexit.<\/p>\n
CECA chief executive Alasdair Reisner said: \u201cSpeaking to companies from across UK construction we have identified some key roles where recruitment is already very difficult, or where it will become so once migration from the EU is reduced post-Brexit.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe believe that it is crucial that we work together, as an industry and with Government to target these shortage occupations, boosting recruitment and training in the UK, while looking to sensible migration from the rest of the world to meet additional demand.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\nPatrick Cusworth, head of policy and public affairs at the CIOB, added: \u201cWe recognise that the construction industry in the UK needs to be more ambitious in terms of recruiting, training and developing more people than it currently does.<\/p>\n
\u201cHowever, research has shown that in the short-to-medium term the industry needs to be able to continue to access migrant labour in a number of key professions such as construction and project management and a number of site-based roles.”<\/p>\n
