A <\/strong>Green Labourer Card<\/strong><\/a> allows individuals to work on construction sites in entry-level positions. It is issued as part of the Construction Skills Certification Scheme (CSCS) and is normally the first step for those looking to working within the construction industry as a General Labourer.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Green CSCS Labourer Card<\/a> is required by many employers for compliance purposes, but it is not a legal requirement. However, many employers do request someone with a CSCS card, as well as building, construction and civil engineering related experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Holding a Green Labourer Card<\/a> demonstrates to employers that you hold the skills and knowledge required for the job. So, holding a CSCS card is a major benefit in getting your foot in the door if you want to work within the construction industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The job duties of a general labourer vary. They may include cleaning and preparing a job site, loading and delivering materials, and using a variety of tools and machines such as blowtorches, power drills, grinders, saws, pressure washers, and water spraying equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But again, this will all depend on the project and what is required. Also, when handling more advanced type of machinery, a senior CSCS card may be required. For instance, a holder of a Blue CPCS Competent Operator Card<\/a> provides proof of complement skills and abilities a number of different roles. It is based on a mix of professional competence, experience on site and health and safety awareness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, with that being said, just how much does a General Labourer who holds a Green CSCS Labourer Card<\/a> actually earn?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A General Labourer can look to earn between \u00a38.70<\/strong> – \u00a38.72<\/strong> an hour, with some even making up to \u00a3100<\/strong> a day. However, this can vary depending on the type of project and time involved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Some construction companies offer benefits and perks as part of working with them. These benefits can include a 12 months duration guaranteed contract, to getting paid every Friday without fail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many construction companies also offer an open-door policy, as well as opportunities to move onto other sites after role completion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

General Labourers are always in full demand, with job opportunities aplenty to be found. There is always work available for those who are skilled and hold a Green Labourer Card<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
