Demolition Labourer Job Description
HireNow, a leading recruitment and temporary staffing agency in the West Midlands, is seeking a committed and physically fit Demolition Labourer to join a major contractor on a significant redevelopment project in the NEC Birmingham B40 area. This is a hands-on, site-based role perfect for someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment and takes pride in contributing to the physical transformation of our built landscape.
Our client is a well-established construction firm with an excellent reputation for safety and quality. They require reliable labourers to support their demolition teams in the careful deconstruction and site clearance of commercial structures. This position offers not just a job, but a potential career pathway. For candidates who demonstrate strong work ethic and aptitude, there are opportunities to progress into more skilled roles, such as a Maintenance Technician or specialised plant operative. Whether you're looking for work to bridge a gap or seeking a long-term position, this role provides immediate income and valuable experience on a high-profile local project.
Core Responsibilities & Duties
As a Demolition Labourer, you will be an integral part of the site team, responsible for a range of manual and supportive tasks. Your primary objective is to ensure the efficient, safe, and tidy progress of demolition activities.
- Manual Demolition & Stripping: Assisting with the manual stripping of interior fixtures, fittings, and non-structural elements using hand tools like sledgehammers, crowbars, and drills. This includes carefully removing doors, windows, partitions, and ceilings as directed.
- Material Handling & Segregation: Loading, unloading, and moving demolition debris and materials manually or using site equipment like wheelbarrows. Critically, you will segregate waste materials (e.g., timber, metal, concrete, plasterboard) into designated skips or containers in accordance with site waste management plans and environmental regulations.
- Site Support & Cleanliness: Maintaining a clean, tidy, and hazard-free work area. This involves sweeping, clearing walkways, and ensuring all tools and equipment are stored safely after use. A clean site is a safe and efficient site.
- Plant & Equipment Assistance: Supporting the operation of larger plant machinery (e.g., providing banksman duties, guiding machinery, checking areas are clear) under supervision. You may also be responsible for basic maintenance and checks on hand tools.
- Rigging & Hoisting: Assisting with the setting up of scaffolding, hoists, and safety barriers under the guidance of a supervisor. You will help secure loads for lifting and ensure safe working zones are established.
- Team Communication & Safety Compliance: Working closely with supervisors, machine operators, and other labourers. You must adhere strictly to all site-specific Method Statements, Risk Assessments (RAMS), and permit-to-work systems. Proactively identifying and reporting any potential hazards is a key part of the role.
Essential Requirements & Candidate Profile
Must-Have Experience & Tickets
- Valid CSCS Card (Green or Blue): This is non-negotiable for accessing the site. If you need guidance on which card is right for you, resources like our video on Green vs Blue CSCS Cards can help.
- Proven Site Experience: At least 6-12 months of experience as a general labourer, construction operative, or specifically in demolition. Experience in warehouse or industrial settings may also be relevant.
- PPE & Safety Awareness: Must own and consistently wear appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). A strong, demonstrable commitment to health and safety is paramount.
- Physical Fitness & Stamina: The role involves heavy lifting, prolonged standing, bending, and working in all weather conditions. You must be physically capable of manual handling tasks.
Desirable Skills & Attitude
- Team Player with Initiative: The ability to work effectively as part of a crew, follow instructions precisely, but also use common sense to anticipate what needs doing next.
- Reliability & Punctuality: Site work starts early. Consistent attendance and timekeeping are essential traits we and our clients value highly.
- Basic Tool Competency: Familiarity with and safe use of common hand and power tools used in demolition and construction.
- Other Certifications: While not essential, tickets such as CPCS (for plant), First Aid, PASMA, or IPAF would be a significant advantage and could lead to higher pay rates.
Don't have every ticket but are keen, fit, and willing to learn? We may still have roles for you. Register with HireNow and we can discuss your options, including potential routes to gaining the necessary certifications. Explore our casual labourer page for more immediate opportunities.
