Job Details

About the Role: Construction News is seeking an ambitious and talented journalist with experience of writing long-form content. The appointment will be made at Features Editor or Senior Writer level, according to experience.

As Senior Writer you will take an active part in writing features, interviews, investigations, and project reports for publication in print and online. Construction is a nationally important industry, and you will be expected to delve deep into its big stories to give CN subscribers greater insight than the mainstream media.

You will also write shorter news articles on a regular basis to support the news coverage of the website and magazine.

About Us: Construction News is the leading brand for those working in one of the largest and busiest industries in the UK. We pride ourselves on the high quality of our journalism – which has been recognised with nine awards in the past four years.

In the last year we’ve published features on a wide range of topics - from cladding to racism, from modern slavery to company finances.  Senior leaders in the construction industry look to our features and investigations as a source of informative, reliable insight into the business issues they face.

About you: Experienced journalist with an understanding of media law. Ability to write, research and edit agenda-setting news and features. Excellent organisational skills and ability to manage a complex workload and work to tight deadlines. Confident interviewer, capable of asking pertinent questions. Prior knowledge of the construction industry is ideal but not essential.

 Key Accountabilities: 

  • Sourcing and writing relevant features to strict deadlines.
  • Copy-editing skills to ensure content is of a high standard.
  • Representing the brand at events.
  • Sustaining good relationships with industry contacts.
  • Maintaining a detailed awareness of industry developments.

How to apply: Please send your CV, examples of your work and a covering letter  ( those without may not be considered ) including your salary expectations and notice.   Due to the volume of applications, we receive, we are unable to give individual feedback at the application stage, however if you are successfully shortlisted you will be contacted within 10 working days of the closing date.
