The Construction Job is a specialist job board carrying thousands of construction jobs from the UK and Europe. These jobs include construction engineer jobs, construction manager jobs and general construction career opportunities.
Resigning from any construction employment can be daunting and there are certainly right and wrong ways of going about it. When you resign you are doing nothing wrong no matter how nervous and scared you may be before having to talk to your boss. So, should you go about it?
Firstly, a written resignation should be thought about to avoid any miss understanding that could arise. Your statement of resignation should say that you have decided to leave your current construction job, that you have enjoyed your time at the company and state the date when you will be leaving (bearing in mind your notice period). This will be kept on file as a reference.
Once you have written your resignation, ask your construction manager if you can speak to them in private. Take it with you and resign orally to your manager. Always remain calm, positive and polite, keeping it simple and to the point. Be prepared for any kind of reaction, as you do not know how they may react. Your construction manager may be the worst manager you have ever had to deal with but that does not give you an excuse to resign shouting and screaming obscenities at them and expressing your hate for the company. This will ruin any chances of a reference in the future and you do not want to burn any bridges.
Neither before nor after you speak to your boss should you tell your colleagues a different reason for why you are leaving the role. Again, this is because you do not want to burn any bridges after leaving. If something else gets back to your construction manager, then it will not bear well.
A final thing to remember is, always work hard right up until the day you are due to leave. References can be extremely important to your future construction job search and you do not want to loose out on the potential of getting some high-quality backing. Sometimes you will not be accepted for construction employment without valid references, so try to take note of the above when you resign.
