As one of the first UK construction companies to achieve B Corp certification, we are proud to be part of a growing movement of businesses committed to balancing people, planet and profit.
We are looking for an experienced and reliable Skilled Site Labourer to join our Construction team.
The Role
This is a varied, hands-on role suited to someone with good practical construction experience who is comfortable turning their hand to different tasks and supporting trades across our developments. Working closely with the Site Manager and wider site team, you will help keep projects moving by supporting trades throughout the construction process, from groundwork and early build stages through to finishing, snagging and completion. No two days will necessarily be the same. You could be preparing plots for trades, carrying out skilled labouring tasks, assisting with finishing works, moving materials or helping another area of the site to meet the construction programme. The role will also involve working across different Gusto Construction sites and driving company vehicles, including the tipper, when required.
Your day-to-day responsibilities will include:
- Supporting all aspects of new-build housing construction, from groundwork through to completion.
- Working alongside and supporting bricklayers, joiners, roofers, plasterers, plumbers, electricians and decorators.
- Preparing plots and work areas ready for trades to begin.
- Carrying out skilled labouring tasks including measuring and cutting materials, installing insulation, temporary protection and assisting with finishing works.
- Safely and competently using appropriate hand and power tools.
- Loading, unloading and distributing building materials around site.
- Carrying out snagging, minor repairs and finishing tasks.
- Assisting with internal sealing and other works required to support property airtightness.
- Supporting deliveries, waste management and the organisation of site storage areas.
- Maintaining clean, organised and safe plots and communal working areas.
- Working flexibly across the site to provide additional support wherever it is needed.
Following all Health and Safety regulations.
