The Civil Engineering Contractors Association (CECA) Wales represents 60 of Wales’ largest and smallest civil engineering contracting businesses with a cumulative annual turnover in excess of £1bn and employing over 6,000 people. These businesses play a huge part in supporting communities across Wales and make a significant contribution to the economic prosperity of our nation. Our members are also major providers of training and apprenticeship opportunities.

On a more fundamental level it is our members who will build the infrastructure that our nation needs to prosper.

Our priorities, established by our members, are based on the following five “core pillars” :

  1. “Creating Work Opportunities”
  2. “Creating a Safer Workplace”
  3. “Creating a Skilled Workforce”
  4. “Creating a Talent Pipeline”
  5. “Creating a Better Environment for All”

The 2026 work plan for CECA Wales was set out in https://www.ceca.co.uk/ceca-wales-meeting-the-challenges-of-2026-march-2026
