Job Description

Strong, willing hands are wanted on a shopping centre renovation in Worcester. This role rewards consistency more than flash.

The site is in Worcester; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. Shifts rotate, so you'll need to be flexible about days and nights.

What you'll actually do

  • Help offload deliveries of steel, timber and pipes
  • Dig trenches and foundations to the depth the foreman marks
  • Pass tools and materials to the plumber or electrician as needed
  • Erect and strip shutters and simple scaffolding under supervision
  • Carry bricks, blocks and cement bags to where the bricklayers work
  • Mix concrete and mortar by hand or with a small mixer
  • Compact soil and layer bedding sand with a plate compactor

You'll need

  • Prepared to travel between sites in the area
  • Physically strong and fit for outdoor work in all weather
  • Able to follow instructions from a foreman or artisan
  • Grade 8 or higher
  • You take safety rules seriously and wear full PPE

Extra points for

  • Previous site work you can show with a reference
  • Some experience with a jackhammer, grinder or plate compactor

What you get

  • Overtime on weekend pours and deadline days
  • Boots, hard hat and overalls issued on site
  • Paid weekly or fortnightly
  • Learn from artisans with a chance to move up to assistant

How to apply

  1. Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
  2. Keep copies of these ready to send: certified ID copy and proof of address in the area, reference letter or phone number from a past foreman plus any safety or scaffolding certificates.
  3. Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
  4. Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 5 working days.

How to stand out

  • Government-funded projects often reserve jobs for people from the local ward. Bring proof of address and ask the site office about the local labour desk.
  • List past sites by name and what you did there, like "mixed concrete, laid kerbs". It proves you have done real site work.
