The event will be for those in the industry who want to:

-- Find a new career -- Find out what projects top construction firms have won -- Increase industry knowledge through free online seminars -- Discuss career opportunities and development with leading companies

Consultants, contractors and house builders will be among the exhibitors, including Faithful + Gould, Network Rail, Davis Langdon, TPS, KEO International and many others.

Attendees will be able to pick up company information, drop off a virtual business card or CV and apply immediately for live vacancies and start the interview process. The show will also feature seminars on such issues as working abroad and what employers want in a changing market.
