Job Description
We are seeking a reliable, hard-working Labourer to join a busy construction and refurbishment team in the heart of London E14. This role is perfect for someone who takes pride in their work, enjoys a physical challenge, and wants to be part of major projects shaping the Docklands skyline. You will be working for a respected contractor on a mix of commercial and residential developments, providing essential support to tradespeople and ensuring the site runs smoothly, safely, and efficiently. This is a hands-on position where your effort directly contributes to project success.
By applying through Quick Placement, one of London's top temp agencies, you gain access to a stream of local opportunities. We don't just fill a single vacancy; we build lasting partnerships with our candidates. Whether you're looking for a long-term assignment or flexible shifts around other commitments, our dedicated consultants will match you with the right site. We understand the local labourer market in E14 intimately, from the large-scale developments in Canary Wharf to the refurbishment projects in Poplar and Limehouse.
Key Responsibilities
- Offloading, moving, and distributing building materials and equipment safely around the site as directed by the site supervisor or foreman.
- Assisting tradespeople (bricklayers, carpenters, plasterers) by preparing areas, fetching tools, and mixing materials like mortar or plaster.
- Maintaining excellent site housekeeping, including sweeping, clearing debris, and ensuring waste is correctly segregated into designated skips.
- Following all health and safety protocols rigorously, including wearing correct PPE, understanding site safety signage, and participating in daily toolbox talks.
- Operating basic site machinery (under supervision if required) such as portable mixers or vibrating plates, and helping with simple setting out tasks.
What We're Looking For
- Proven experience as a construction labourer or similar hands-on role. A valid CSCS Card is highly advantageous and may lead to higher pay rates.
- A strong, fit, and agile individual capable of manual handling and working on their feet for a full shift in all weather conditions.
- A solid understanding of and commitment to health and safety on construction sites. A safety-first mindset is non-negotiable.
- Reliability, punctuality, and a positive, can-do attitude. The ability to work well as part of a team and follow instructions is essential.
Salary & Benefits
We believe in rewarding hard work fairly and transparently. For this Labourer role in London E14, we offer a competitive hourly rate of £12.50 to £15.50, paid weekly. Your exact rate will be determined based on your experience, qualifications (like a CSCS card), and the specific requirements of the site. We operate both CIS and PAYE payment schemes to suit your circumstances.
Beyond the pay, working with Quick Placement comes with significant benefits. You'll enjoy the security of weekly pay, so you always know when money is coming in. We handle the admin and liaison with the client, allowing you to focus on the job.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a CSCS Card to apply for this Labourer job in London E14?
While a CSCS Card is highly desirable and can lead to higher pay, it is not always mandatory for entry-level labourer roles. Some of our clients in E14 will consider candidates without a card if they have strong relevant experience and a commitment to safety. We can often advise on how to obtain a CSCS Card if needed. For specific roles that require it, it will be clearly stated in the job description.
How quickly can I start work after applying?
Very quickly. For"immediate start" roles like this one, the process is designed for speed. If your application is strong and you are available immediately, we can often arrange a registration call the same day and have you on site within 24-48 hours, subject to completing any necessary site-specific inductions or checks. Our reputation, as highlighted in resources like our guide on top temp agencies in London, is built on filling urgent vacancies efficiently.
What kind of shifts and hours can I expect as a Labourer in E14?
Most construction labourer roles in London E14 follow a standard Monday to Friday pattern, with shifts typically starting between 7:00 AM and 8:00 AM and finishing between 4:00 PM and 5:00 PM. However, we also have opportunities for overtime, weekend work, and sometimes night shifts on larger projects. During registration, we'll discuss your availability so we only put you forward for roles that match your preferred schedule.
What PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) do I need to provide?
You are generally expected to provide your own basic PPE, including safety boots (with steel toe cap and mid-sole protection) and hi-visibility clothing (vest or jacket). Most reputable sites will provide task-specific PPE like hard hats, gloves, eye protection, and ear defenders, but it's always best to check with your Quick Placement consultant. Coming to site with the correct basic PPE is a sign of professionalism and readiness.
Does Quick Placement offer jobs outside of construction in the E14 area?
Absolutely. While we are specialists in construction staffing, our reach extends across multiple sectors. In the Docklands and surrounding areas, we frequently recruit for warehouse operatives, hospitality staff, event crew, and retail positions. If you're open to different types of work, registering with us opens doors to a wide variety of roles we recruit for.
What is the difference between temp and temp-to-perm?
A temporary (temp) role has a fixed end date or is ongoing with no permanent offer guaranteed. Temp-to-perm is a trial period where you work for the client via Quick Placement for a set timeframe (e.g., 12 weeks). If both you and the employer are happy at the end of this period, you typically transfer to the client's direct payroll as a permanent employee. It's a low-risk way for employers to find the right long-term fit and for you to try a role before committing.
