Rising Demand for Talents in Innovative Construction Technology for Hong Kong’s Construction Industry
The Government continues to invest in the formation of land, infrastructure works and construction of facilities required by the community, and strives to maintain steady growth in the capital works expenditure, including the development of Northern Metropolis, the Northern Link Main Line and the Northern Metropolis Highway (San Tin Section) etc. The clear prospect of the industries could enhance job security within the industries and was favourable to attracting the engagement of young generation. The extended use of advanced tools and highly productive digital construction methods has relieved the workload of workers in repetitive, labour-dependent or potentially hazardous construction procedures. The demand for talents with expertise in I&T fields, such as robotics, computer sciences and electronics, for the development and deployment of advanced construction methods has risen.
