Construction is one skill-set that has a constant demand the world over and New Zealand is no exception. A forecast also states that companies in the construction space will continue to source international works with adequate skills at least for some years.

The skill shortage in the construction industry can be best explained by with the fact that an excess of 55,000 to 60,000 additional workers will be required in the next 5 years. With almost 65-70% jobs available in the long term skill shortage segment in the construction industry, the opportunity to migrate to New Zealand for those having the requisite skills-set needed could not have comeat a better time. The construction talent needed will be required to contribute to the overall infra-structure and infra-projects in New Zealand. Some of these include: building of new houses, roads and all level infrastructure.

To state the facts, in January 2018, seven building related occupations were been added to the Immediate Skill shortage List (ISSL) that would facilitate easier recruitments. Some of these included:

• – Plumber
• – Roof Tiler
• – Fibrous Plasterer
• – Carpenter
• – Joiner

If you are from the construction industry and are looking forward to migrate to a better place, New Zealand is definitely the place to be, not only have a better lifestyle but also to hone your skill and talent to the next level.

However, it is imperative to get your documentation in place and get your eligibility for a New Zealand work visa as well as residence sorted. Get in touch with an expert immigration agent who will guide you step-by-step and get your successfully migrated.
