Construction recruitment agency

The economic sector of Bâtiment et Travaux Publics or BTP

The building and public works (BTP) sector remains an essential pillar of the French economy, encompassing the design, construction and renovation of public and private buildings, as well as the development of infrastructure such as roads and pipelines. In 2024, the BTP in France numbered around 500,000 companies, generating sales of over 150 billion euros.

In terms of employment, the BTP would employ nearly 1.5 million employees in France in 2024. The most in-demand trades include roofers, building electrical workers and skilled masons, accounting for a significant share of hiring intentions. Other profiles, such as heating engineers, welders and plumbers, are also in high demand, particularly in the context of the energy transition and the rise of eco-responsible buildings.

However, the sector is facing recruitment challenges. In December 2024, 80% of companies with more than 10 employees were experiencing difficulties in recruiting the necessary skills. This situation highlights the importance of effective recruitment strategies to attract and retain talent in construction.

To meet these needs, specialized recruitment firms, such as Alphéa Conseil, are available to support your recruitment efforts in this sector.
