Build Back Home

We need you. With all your skills and knowledge. To help us build thousands of homes. You’ve built the world and now maybe you're thinking of home...

Ireland needs people with construction skills and experience to help deliver on ambitious targets for new housing and infrastructure.

Construction workers are in demand, and there are lots of opportunities for Irish construction workers who have moved abroad and are considering returning.

Between now and 2030, we need nearly 70,000 new entrants to fill a variety of construction-related roles - from bricklayers to plumbers, architects to project managers.

Of course, moving home is not a decision to be taken lightly. This page maps out all the information, supports and advice available to help you quickly settle back into life in Ireland.

Thinking of coming back? Hear from those who already have.
