What do groundworkers do?
Groundworkers have the job of getting a construction site ready for building to begin. A lot of this work is manual.
Other names for groundworkers are:
- Construction workers
- Construction labourers
What you’ll be doing will depend on the construction project. But some of the things you can expect to do are:
- Unloading and loading building materials
- Preparing materials and tools
- Cleaning up the construction site
- Putting up scaffolding
- Digging trenches, holes and tunnels for foundations and drains
- Removing sewage
- Redirecting waterways away from the construction site
- Mixing and pouring concrete
- Laying down kerbs and flagstones for roads
You’ll be working on a building site, in all types of weather.
Depending on what the construction project is, you also might be working at height.
Groundworkers may have to work late in the evenings and on weekends.
If you want to apply for a groundworker job, you might need the following:
- Some GCSEs, Level 1 or 2 certificate, a relevant apprenticeship
- A Construction Skills Certificate Scheme (CSCS) card
- The right to work in the UK
Some employers may expect you to have previous construction experience.
You’ll also need to be over 18 and have a driving license to use some specialist machines, like excavators.
