Job Description

Applying, step by step

Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
Get these ready, because shortlisted people are asked for them straight away: contact numbers of two previous foremen, any trade or skills certificate you hold plus green ID book or smart ID card.
Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.
If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 6 working days, usually by phone.

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

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.

Before you hit apply

Say which trade you are strongest in first. "Bricklayer, 6 years, face brick" is better than "general construction".
Be ready to do a short practical test on site. Arrive early with your own tools if you have them.
