Construction is crucial to the development of the spaces in which we live and in which we coexist as a society: houses, schools, hospitals, roads, airports and a long list of infrastructures are the result of the efforts of an age-old sector that today combines traditional know-how with major technical innovations.
It is an increasingly industrialised and innovation-driven sector that is constantly incorporating cutting-edge technologies that streamline its modus operandi. The BIM methodology, AI, robotisation and mobile technology are already a reality in the sector’s day-to-day operations.
As one of the country’s main economic drivers, the construction industry has a huge capacity to generate employment and offer endless career opportunities.
This strategic and dynamic sector has recovered its pre-pandemic levels of activity and is growing at a consolidated rate: 115,000 direct and indirect jobs, 10.7% of the Basque Country’s GDP and 12% of total employment.
