How to Avoid Labour Shortages in Construction – Workforce Solutions
Labour shortages continue to put critical pressure on major construction and infrastructure projects across Europe. The demand for qualified tradespeople and site labour is often outpacing supply leading to missed deadlines, rising costs, and compromised quality.
For senior leaders in project delivery, procurement, or operations, securing a dependable labour force is no longer optional — it’s a strategic priority.
What can cause a labour shortage?
- Mobility barriers: Labour isn’t always available where the projects are.
- High turnover: Inconsistent site conditions and poor welfare affect retention.
- Aging workforce: Many skilled trades are retiring, with limited replacements.
- Cross-border complexities: Visa and compliance issues limit access to EU talent.
- Short notice projects: Traditional recruitment timelines don’t support urgent needs.
