Pay across the construction trade can vary, though most labourers start around £24,000, with site managers and surveyors earning between £40,000 and £60,000. Contractors often quote day rates, averaging £150 for skilled trades and £250 for supervisory roles. Agency fees usually reflect experience and project scale.
Many construction roles require a CSCS card, obtained after completing a relevant health and safety course. Skilled trades often hold NVQs or City & Guilds certificates in areas like bricklaying, carpentry, or electrical installation. Higher-level staff such as surveyors or engineers may need RICS or ICE membership.
Wages and demand fluctuate across the UK. London and the South East command higher pay due to project density and living costs. In the North and Midlands, infrastructure investment continues to support steady hiring, while coastal and rural projects often depend on seasonal or contract labour.
Employers often report shortages in skilled trades, particularly electricians, plumbers, and site engineers. Retaining qualified labour can be difficult when large contractors draw talent away with higher rates. Agencies specialising in construction recruitment help bridge these gaps, offering vetted workers at short notice.
Construction is open to a wide range of applicants, from apprentices to experienced professionals. Entry-level workers usually start as labourers or trainees and can progress through on-the-job training. Safety awareness, reliability, and physical fitness are key for most roles.
Common positions include site labourer, carpenter, electrician, groundworker, and machine operator. Progression can lead to supervisory or management roles such as foreman, site manager, or project manager. Office-based paths may include estimating, surveying, or design coordination.
Beyond the CSCS card, some roles require CPCS for plant operation or IPAF certification for powered access work. First aid and asbestos awareness courses are common requirements, and agencies often request up-to-date certificates before placing candidates on site.
The UK construction market remains one of the largest employment sectors, supported by ongoing housing, infrastructure, and energy projects. Skilled trades continue to be in short supply, keeping demand for recruitment agencies strong across both permanent and temporary placements.
