Fernando Almeida Santos, president of the Order of Engineers, warned that it will not be possible to carry out the works announced by the Government with the workforce currently available.
According to Fernando Almeida Santos, the shortage of qualified technicians constitutes a fundamental obstacle to the execution of the public works projects announced by the executive.
The president of the Order of Engineers argues that it is necessary to import specialized technical professionals so that the works can be completed within the established timelines and parameters.
This position arises in the context of a broader debate about the capacity to execute infrastructure and construction projects in Portugal, where the lack of qualified workforce in the sector has been pointed out as a growing concern.
