Germany's Construction Sector: Growth Requires Skilled Workers

Germany's construction industry is experiencing growth like only the industry could have imagined. From public infrastructure and residential buildings to industrial buildings and renewable energy facilities, this sector is one of the fundamental pillars of the country. 

Cities like Berlin, Munich, Frankfurt, and Hamburg are experiencing an incredible pace of urbanisation. Meanwhile, there is still robust investment occurring in Bavaria and North Rhine-Westphalia for transport, housing, and green energy projects. 

However, with this growth, there is an increasing and challenging issue: a skilled labour shortage. Civil engineering companies, construction contractors, and project developers are struggling to find skilled workers for positions such as site engineers, foremen, structural technicians, heavy equipment operators, and the skilled trades.

This skilled labour shortage is causing delays and additional cost pressure to projects. Dynamic Staffing Services is the solution to the skills gap. 

The labour challenge in Germany's construction sector 

Germany's construction boom recognizably outpaced growth in its skilled labour force. According to the German Construction Federation (ZDB) and the Federal Employment Agency, the construction sector is facing a shortage of over 250,000 skilled professionals in various roles.

Reasons for the skills gap:

• Ageing workforce: There are many experienced construction workers who are retiring, leaving behind more job vacancies.
• Decrease in Vocational Training: There are fewer youth entering the construction program through trade and technical schools.
• Higher demand: There is increased housing, infrastructure, and energy projects, creating more jobs than workers.
• Complex compliance and certification: German construction standards require specific qualifications, limiting the pool of available candidates.
• International competition: Skilled workers are being hired by neighbouring EU countries, making it even more difficult to hire workers locally.

Without enough skilled workers, companies will experience delays, increased costs, and decreased capacity to deliver.
