Demand for engineering staff has certainly changed over the past two and half years, says Richard Eardley of Hays Montrose. "Spring 2000 probably saw the absolute peak in terms of demand for permanent staff, since which time demand has declined, albeit only to the levels one would associate with a healthy construction industry." "Demand still far outstrips supply in certain key skills (in particular structural engineers with over five years experience, electrical design engineers and senior HVAC engineers) and we are still actively recruiting from overseas for certain positions. Forecast economic growth of four per cent over the next 12 months will still mean a buoyant construction industry and thus continued demand for staff.
