Hot jobs for 2013
Residential Project Managers, Civil Project Managers and Structural Engineers are among the candidates in demand in 2013
with employers now planning and starting to action their hiring needs for the year ahead, according to the Hays
Quarterly Report.
According to the latest Quarterly Report, out now and covering January to March 2013, pockets of shortages for specific
skills remain in some sectors, including construction and engineering, particularly due to the continuing work on the
Christchurch rebuild.
“Certain sectors of the market have become dependent on international migration. And we have seen that while employers
are becoming more open to international candidates there are some serious hurdles for some sectors, such as engineering,
where candidates are required to have New Zealand earthquake seismic experience,” says Jason Walker, Managing Director
of Hays in New Zealand.
“However candidates already in employment are looking for better roles, highlighting there is continued confidence in
the labour market, particularly for those whose skills are in demand. Architects, for example, appear to be quite open
to shopping around for alternative options.”
According to the Hays Quarterly Report for January to March 2013, demand is highest for the following skilled
professionals:
