However, One Way said this simply highlighted a worsening skills crisis in the sector, particularly when coupled with the fact industry output has seen a recent slowdown.<\/p>\n<p>One Way\u2019s managing director Paul Payne said: \u201cOn paper a rise in job vacancies should be great news for us, but when you consider the bigger picture it only highlights the growing skills shortages that the industry faces.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJob vacancies have risen because there simply aren\u2019t enough professionals to meet the demand, and that\u2019s at a time when output is at a three-year low. Imagine what the situation will be like when we get over the Brexit uncertainty and look to raise productivity once again.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve been banging the same drum for some time now, but something needs to be done before we hit a wall and projects have to be put on hold because of skills shortages.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe issue is a ticking time bomb and unless something drastic is done soon, the industry could be in big trouble. That\u2019s not to mention what could potentially happen if we were to leave the EU and talent pipelines from across Europe were affected.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cObviously this is great news for current construction professionals who are likely to pick which projects they want to work on, and what they\u2019ll be paid, but for the industry as a whole it\u2019s a real worry.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"mk-custom-module-container\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A recruiter has warned an increase in the number of job vacancies in the construction sector during May is not good news\u2026 Construction and rail recruitment specialist One Way has warned that an increase in construction job vacancies may not necessarily be good news for the sector.
