 < back to all News Your Career in Your Hands  Risks and Opportunities in 2006 In recent years, the engineering and construction job market has
            become more and more candidate driven. With skills in the technical
            sector in shorter and shorter supply, major projects and hiring companies
            are increasing aware of the importance of good candidate management.  As a professional in our industry, demand for your skills grows
            ever greater and there are many options available to you in managing
            and driving your own career.  One of the major changes in the way employers operate in the search
            for key skills is the rise of technology solutions. Traditional methods
            of recruiting, with small networks of relationships grown from personal
            contact are becoming redundant in the global market. It is no longer
            practical for engineers to rely on personal relationships alone to
            guarantee themselves access to the most lucrative contracts or significant
            career moves.  EPCglobal have been at the forefront of development in bringing
            the engineering community closer together, increasing the efficiency
            of our clients’ search for experienced professionals and empowering
            our candidates to find new opportunities and be found directly by
            the businesses that need their skills so urgently. The danger for professionals in this industry is not an absence
            of opportunity, with such sustained investment in infrastructure
            across the world, but rather in the risk of missing the perfect opportunity
            simply by being unaware of it. Today, thousands of engineers are
            not fulfilling their true earning potential. Thousands more have
            not advanced to the level of responsibility and recognition that
            their skills deserve. Access to all relevant and available information
            is crucial. It is not enough to know that projects are underway,
            nor is it enough to have a vague understanding of market rates. It
            is vital to gain a clear picture of the industry in detail, to know
            who exactly is looking to hire you, what you could be doing at this
            stage in your career and what you should expect to be earning.  Epcglobal.com is now the only fully integrated recruitment solution
