Fifteen thousand jobs are already supported by HS2 and over the coming years HS2 will create over 22,000 job roles including apprentices, engineers, and project managers. The purpose of the platform is to make the roles more accessible to job applicants, to promote diverse roles that relate to the construction of HS2, and to demonstrate HS2 as an industry leader.
HS2’s construction partners, who are supporting the delivery of the new railway, have some of the biggest recruitment opportunities in the industry. Each construction partner is advertising their roles on their own platforms, which can make it challenging for job applicants to know about all of the job opportunities that are available.
The new Job Brokerage platform brings all HS2-related job opportunities together, gives all construction partners an equal opportunity to promote their job vacancies in one place, and makes it much easier for someone interested in working for HS2 to find employment
Emma Lane, Client Services Director at Studio 24 said: "The Job Brokerage platform gives jobseekers a single place to search and apply for HS2 roles for the first time. Since its launch at the beginning of January 2021 there have been over 26,000 searches by job seekers! We are pleased to be able to support HS2 to facilitate the creation of jobs across their supply chain."
