Buffalo's Building Boom

We’ve all seen all the construction going on throughout various locations in Buffalo. More than $1 billion dollars is being spent on the waterfront and the medical campus alone.

The biggest most lucrative building boom in decades is happening now in our city. This also means that for the first time in years a career in construction is a viable option for local residents. If you’ve ever considered a career in the building trades, this would be the time to pursue it, and  a company like Active Workforce Inc., which I have owned and operated for over 15 years, can help you with this pursuit.

Thanks to the building boom we are witnessing here in Buffalo, Active Workforce has established itself locally as the leading placement agency in this field and can guide you through the application and interview process. We specialize in the construction trades and we employ more than 3,000 construction employees on an annual basis.

The key when working with any placement agency is to make sure they can help you find a position with a local contractor that best suits your skills, needs, and pay range. When you put an application in with an agency like ours, it’s like applying to over 100 contractors, and we do all the leg work. There is no fee to you the employee, and we make sure to match up the best candidate for every position we fill.

There are tons of jobs available for skilled, semi-skilled, and entry level construction employees in our area, with new facilities and programs popping up all over Buffalo to facilitate training. And for those that require an immediate start, a few of the big commercial construction companies are even willing to do on-the-job training. We all want to see Buffalo become the gem that we know it can be, and if this trend continues we'll be well on our way!
