Job Description

Hard outdoor work on a road rehabilitation project in Worcester, with a chance to learn a trade while you earn. This is a good step for someone who wants proper routine and a manager who notices good work.

You'll report in Worcester. Relocation is not covered for this one. Shifts rotate, so you'll need to be flexible about days and nights.

What your day looks like

  • Sign the daily safety talk register before work starts
  • Clear rubble and load it into skips
  • Compact soil and layer bedding sand with a plate compactor
  • Pass tools and materials to the plumber or electrician as needed
  • Clean tools, mixers and wheelbarrows at the end of each day
  • Help offload deliveries of steel, timber and pipes
  • Dig trenches and foundations to the depth the foreman marks

Must-haves

  • Willing to start early, often at 06:30
  • A clean record is preferred for some government sites
  • You take safety rules seriously and wear full PPE
  • Physically strong and fit for outdoor work in all weather
  • Grade 8 or higher

Extra points for

  • A working-at-heights or scaffolding ticket
  • Registered on your ward or municipal job-seeker database

On offer

  • Boots, hard hat and overalls issued on site
  • Paid weekly or fortnightly
  • Overtime on weekend pours and deadline days

Applying, step by step

  1. Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
  2. Get these ready, because shortlisted people are asked for them straight away: 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. Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 5 working days.

Your application joins the How2Apply talent pool for this role, and we put shortlisted people forward to employers hiring in and around Worcester.

How2Apply never charges you to apply, for training, for uniforms or for a "placement fee". If anyone asks you for money, it is a scam.

Tips to get shortlisted

  • If a foreman can vouch for you, put their number on your CV. Site hiring runs on word of mouth.
  • 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.
