Construction Jobs Expo Takes Place This Saturday at the RDS Dublin

Construction and engineering professionals looking for their next career opportunity can meet employers and explore new possibilities at Construction Jobs Expo 2026 this Saturday, 17 October, at the RDS Dublin. Running from 11am to 4pm in Shelbourne Hall, the free event brings together jobseekers, recruiters and industry representatives for a day focused on employment, career development and skills across Ireland’s construction sector.

Whether you are an experienced construction professional, a qualified tradesperson, an apprentice or considering entering the industry, Construction Jobs Expo offers an opportunity to make valuable connections and learn more about the roles available.

Meet Employers and Explore Construction Careers

Construction Jobs Expo provides a dedicated space for people to connect with employers recruiting across construction, engineering and related sectors. Attendees can learn about vacancies, discuss career pathways and speak directly with recruiters about the skills and experience companies need.

The event welcomes jobseekers at different stages of their careers. Experienced professionals can explore new positions and progression opportunities, while apprentices and those entering the sector can learn more about potential routes into construction and engineering.

For anyone considering a career move, meeting employers in person can also provide useful insight into recruitment requirements, industry expectations and the qualifications that may strengthen an application.

Prepare for Your Next Career Move

Making the most of a careers expo starts before arriving at the venue. Visitors should consider the types of roles they want to pursue, research participating employers where information is available and prepare a few questions about vacancies, required qualifications and opportunities for progression.

Construction Jobs Expo is powered by TalentIQ, helping candidates connect with employers through a digital recruitment process. Jobseekers can create a profile, upload their CV and record their industry preferences before attending. This allows them to prepare for digital applications and make better use of conversations with recruiters on the day.

Leave printed CVs at home. Candidates are encouraged to upload their CV and complete their profile ahead of the event so they are ready to engage with employers and apply for suitable opportunities.

Take the Next Step in Construction and Engineering

Construction Jobs Expo is an opportunity to explore the breadth of careers available across the sector, from skilled trades and site operations to engineering, project management and specialist technical roles.

For those already working in the industry, the event may open the door to a new employer or a fresh professional challenge. For people looking to enter construction, it offers a chance to learn about career options and connect with organisations that can help shape their next steps.

With the event taking place this weekend, now is the time to get prepared.
