Key Responsibilities & Daily Duties

A Labourer's role is versatile and physically demanding, forming the backbone of any construction site. Your core responsibilities will include:

• Site Preparation and Maintenance: Assisting with setting up work areas, including erecting scaffolding, laying protective coverings, and preparing materials for tradespeople. Keeping the site clean, tidy, and free from hazards is a primary duty, much like the essential work of a Site Cleaner.
• Material Handling: Loading, unloading, lifting, moving, and distributing building materials, tools, and equipment around the site using appropriate manual handling techniques or machinery like sack trucks.
• Assisting Skilled Trades: Providing direct support to carpenters, bricklayers, electricians, and other trades by fetching materials, holding items in place, and performing basic tasks as directed.
• Waste Management: Segregating and disposing of construction waste responsibly in designated skips, ensuring compliance with site environmental policies.
• Health & Safety Compliance: Adhering strictly to all site safety rules, wearing correct PPE at all times, and participating in daily toolbox talks. You will contribute to creating a 100% compliant construction site.
• Traffic & Public Management: On sites with public proximity, you may assist with pedestrian management, similar to duties performed by a Traffic Marshall, to ensure safe movement around the work zone.

What We're Looking For (Requirements)

To be successful in this Labourer role in London SW1, you should meet the following criteria. We value a strong work ethic and a safety-first attitude above all.

• Proven Experience: Previous experience as a Labourer on a construction site is highly desirable. We also welcome applications from those with transferable skills from other physical industries.
• Valid CSCS Card: A valid CSCS Card (any colour, preferably Green or Blue) is essential for accessing most sites in London SW1. Unsure of the difference? Our resources can help you understand the Green CSCS Card vs Blue requirements.
• Physical Fitness & Stamina: The role involves manual labour, lifting, standing, and working in all weather conditions. You must be physically capable and resilient.
• Reliability & Punctuality: A strong track record of reliability. Immediate start roles require you to be ready and available at short notice.
• Team Player Attitude: The ability to work effectively as part of a team, follow instructions from site supervisors, and communicate clearly with colleagues.
• Basic Safety Awareness: A genuine commitment to health and safety. Knowledge of basic risk assessments and safe working practices is a plus.
