Demand for Skilled Workers in Sustainable Construction Jumps 25% in UAE
Mumbai, Sep 27 (PTI) Demand for skilled workers in sustainable construction practices in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has increased by 25 per cent since May last year, according to a report released on Friday.
From May 2023 to April 2024, demand for skilled workers in sustainable construction practices increased by 25 percent, particularly for roles requiring expertise in building information modeling (BIM), digital twin technologies, energy efficiency, safety compliance and sustainable materials management. A report by UAE-based AI-powered platform Huntr.
These capabilities are important as the UAE advances its sustainability practices, focusing on projects that prioritize energy efficiency and waste reduction, the report added.
“Indian workers with expertise in energy-efficient technologies and sustainable practices are well-positioned to meet this demand, and the benefits—higher wages, longer contracts and better working conditions—are significant,” said Samuel Joy, founder and CEO of Huntr.
The report is based on an analysis of its workforce data from May 2023 to April 2024.
According to Huntr data, workers in these green roles earn an average annual salary of AED 1,08,522, which is significantly higher than the AED 73,250 earned by those in traditional construction jobs.
