The Construction Industry Training Board (CITB) is seeking applicants to apply for its newly created Industry Relations Director role.

The organisation said industry firms are currently facing "major changes", including economic uncertainty caused by Brexit, the Apprenticeship Levy, and an overhaul of skills policy and Further Education.

The new director will join CITB's executive team as part of restructuring plans to create a "more streamlined organisation".


In their new role, the successful applicant will lead CITB's engagement with employers and federations across England, Scotland and Wales, supported by CITB's Partnership Teams in each area.

Steve Radley, Policy Director at CITB, said: "At a time of major change, we need to work effectively with the whole industry, from the smallest firms to the biggest. This means putting even more effort into hearing employers' views, helping them navigate the changing environment, and making clear how a modernised CITB will help them get the skills they need.

"Together with our ongoing reforms to improve our targeted funding, and get CITB support to thousands more employers, this new role will help us meet the changing needs of our industry."
