Certification and job requirements
The first thing that any employer or recruitment agency will expect you to produce is your Certificate of Competence for Demolition Operatives (CCDO). This is an initiative designed for any labourer whose job includes Demolition. It covers the health and safety requirements of Demolition work, and ensures that everyone working in the field does so with the utmost regard for the safety of themselves and those around them.
If you are applying to work as a Demolition Labourer, you’ll need to be physically fit and strong, and previous experience in the Construction Industry will almost certainly benefit your application.
Because of the nature of the work, Demolition jobs will often require candidates to relocate on a temporary basis, but employers will often assist them with their accommodation.
