CLC seeks new industry professionals as sector ambassadors in 2023
The Construction Leadership Council put out a call to recruit talented early career industry professionals to join the first wave of CLC Ambassadors. The call ends on Monday 9th January at 11.59pm.
To boost engagement with early career professionals from across the industry and diversify its membership, the CLC is looking to appoint four ambassadors who will help shape and communicate the Council’s policy positions on its key priorities of:
- Building Safety
- Net Zero and Biodiversity
- People & Skills
- Next Generation Delivery
Following an open competition, the appointed Ambassadors will have meaningful opportunities to i) input to and influence CLC policy development and ii) obtain exposure to, and engagement with, senior industry leaders. They will enable the voice of the sector’s future talent to be included as the CLC delivers its priorities, communicating the CLC’s work to a new audience through their established social media and professional body networks, championing the sector as a career opportunity.
Construction Leadership Council Co-Chair Mark Reynolds said: “The CLC plays a crucial role in making sure that our industry can deliver outstanding results for its customers and society, securing long-term improvements to the way all parts of construction operate. We want those that will lead us in the future to play a role in setting the course towards this better future. We hope that the best of the best among our emerging talent will put themselves forward for these four Ambassador roles”.
Full details of the CLC Ambassador recruitment process can be found on the CLC website. Expressions of interest in the roles will remain open until 9 January 2023, with appointments set to be confirmed by the end of February.
