    Hi all,

    Just wondering if i could get some advice. I came back from Canada last year and decided to finish off a degree I had started in Construction Management which i will graduate from this year. Now looking to get working in London or anywhere in the UK really so i can gain some experience. While in Canada I worked in the bar scene but really dont wanna go back to it. So I would be pretty much looking for entry level work as a junior engineer/surveyor or anything really. Tried loads of jobs, recruiters and am on linkedin. If anyone has any tips or help they could offer it would be great?

    Thanks in advance

    I had a friend in same situation. He had graduated from CIT, had plenty of building site experience at labouring level from Summer work etc. He came to London and got a labouring job with an Irish firm. After a week heaapproached the Site Manager and outlined his qualificstions. They gave him a start with his appropriate qualification and is doing great.

    Ballymore have a big site in Vauxhall and others planned on the Thames Estuary. I also saw their hoardings up on Crossrail in Hamstead. I heard they might have a job on Battersea Power station also
