With Google searches for hybrid jobs up over 2,000%, new research has revealed that civil engineering is the most equipped sector in the UK for job seekers looking for flexible work arrangements.
The hybrid work index, compiled by office management software specialist ECI Software Solutions, analysed 220,000 job postings on LinkedIn to reveal which professions have adapted the fastest to the rise in demand for hybrid work.
Perhaps somewhat surprisingly civil engineering placed top in the index above any other office-based occupation in the UK, with 42% of jobs advertised as hybrid. Businesses supporting the roll-out of major UK infrastructure projects such as HS2 and the Stonehenge Tunnel appear to be most inclined to offer staff the ability to work from home, on-site and in the office.
A British Chamber of Commerce report found that construction is the industry most likely to report issues in finding staff in 2022, suggesting civil engineering has quickly adapted in order to look further afield to access high-quality talent.
