Construction Jobs in Hong Kong
Posted by Richard Poulter, Construction Recruitment Director, Hong Kong on Monday, August 15, 2022
Hong Kong is a vibrant hub for all sorts of professional construction industry jobs.
Why So Many Different Job Opportunities?
Although Hong Kong’s landmass is relatively small the amount of construction taking place within this relatively small area is huge. One of the reasons for this according to the International Trade Administration (ITA) is:
“Hong Kong developers are experts in slope and high-density design, as well as designing with space constraints”
A small number of local construction companies in Hong Kong, supplemented by a number of overseas contractors, employ many construction professionals in keeping the large array of projects on the move. The job opportunities are prolific because the Hong Kong construction business is almost always booming. Again, the ITA gives good reason:
“The Hong Kong Government has made great efforts to promote economic growth through infrastructure development.”
Infrastructure support from the government is vital in a small area such as Hong Kong, and leads to great job opportunities for professionals looking for senior construction jobs in Hong Kong. From Quantity Surveyor jobs, to client-side project management, to construction consultant jobs, Hong Kong has all your job needs within a short MTR train journey.

Let’s take a look at some of the opportunities related to the previous sections. Construction jobs in Hong Kong cover a variety of specialisms.
