Job Description
Are you a reliable, hands-on individual seeking a practical role with an immediate start in Bristol? Quick Placement is actively recruiting for a General Labourer position in the BS8 postcode area. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who enjoys varied, physical work and wants to join a dynamic team on a range of local construction, renovation, and maintenance projects. Our client is a well-established contractor known for quality work across Bristol, and they require additional support to meet project deadlines. As a General Labourer in BS8, you will be the backbone of the site, providing essential support to skilled tradespeople and ensuring operations run smoothly and safely.
By applying through Quick Placement, you gain access to more than just a single job. We are a leading employment agency for temporary jobs, connecting dedicated workers with reputable employers across the South West. We understand the local market in Bristol and can offer you not only this immediate role but also a pipeline of future opportunities. Whether you're looking for short-term work to bridge a gap or a foot in the door for a long-term career in construction, registering with us opens up a network of possibilities. Our process is straightforward, and we pride ourselves on getting people into work quickly.
Key Responsibilities
- Providing general site support, including loading and unloading materials, tools, and equipment from delivery vehicles and distributing them to the appropriate locations.
- Assisting tradespeople (e.g., carpenters, bricklayers, electricians) with their tasks, preparing work areas, and helping to move and position materials as directed.
- Maintaining a clean, tidy, and safe working environment by sweeping, clearing rubble, disposing of waste correctly, and ensuring walkways are free from obstructions.
- Performing basic manual tasks such as digging trenches, mixing cement, and moving aggregates using wheelbarrows and other manual handling equipment.
- Following all site health and safety regulations diligently, wearing appropriate PPE at all times, and reporting any hazards or incidents to the site supervisor immediately.
What We're Looking For
- Proven experience as a General Labourer or in a similar manual role within construction, warehouse, or landscaping. A can-do attitude and willingness to learn are equally valuable.
- Physical fitness and stamina to perform demanding manual tasks throughout the day, including lifting, carrying, and working in various weather conditions.
- A strong commitment to health and safety. A valid CSCS card is highly advantageous, but we can advise on obtaining one if needed.
- Reliability, punctuality, and a positive team spirit. You must be able to follow instructions, work effectively as part of a team, and have your own safety boots and hi-vis clothing.

We believe in offering fair and competitive compensation that reflects your skills and effort. For this General Labourer role in BS8, we offer a pay rate of £12.50 to £15.50 per hour, depending on your specific experience, any relevant tickets (like CSCS), and the type of shift. Overtime may be available at enhanced rates on certain projects, providing an excellent opportunity to increase your weekly earnings.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a CSCS card to apply for this General Labourer job in BS8?
While a valid CSCS card is highly preferred for most construction site roles and can lead to a higher pay rate, it is not always an absolute requirement for an entry-level general labourer position. Some of our clients in BS8 may accept applicants without a card if they are willing to undergo a site safety induction. We can also advise you on how to obtain a CSCS card quickly and point you towards relevant training if needed. It's always best to apply and discuss your specific situation with our consultant.
How quickly can I start after applying?
We specialise in immediate start roles. Our process is designed for speed. Once you apply, a consultant will typically contact you within a few hours (during business hours). If your experience is a good match and you can complete our fast-track compliance checks (right to work, references), we aim to have you on site within 24 to 48 hours. For more on our speedy process, you can read about our approach as a top temp agency known for quick hire solutions.
What kind of shifts are available for General Labourers in Bristol?
Shift patterns vary by project and client. Commonly, you can expect standard daytime hours (e.g., 8 am to 5 pm), but early starts (from 7 am) are also frequent. Some projects may offer overtime, weekend work, or longer shifts. During your registration call, be sure to discuss your availability preferences. We also have a range of immediate start jobs with flexible shifts across various sectors if your schedule is restrictive.
Is this a temporary role only, or is there a chance of a permanent position?
This specific vacancy is advertised as a temporary placement, which is common for project-based work. However, many of our temporary roles have excellent temp-to-perm potential. If you demonstrate reliability, a strong work ethic, and fit well with the team, the client may offer you a direct, permanent contract after an initial period. We have a strong track record of placing workers into permanent roles through this pathway.
What should I wear/bring on my first day?
Safety is paramount. You must provide your own safety footwear (steel-toe cap boots) and high-visibility clothing (hi-vis vest or jacket). We recommend durable work trousers and a weather-appropriate top. Bring your own lunch, snacks, and plenty of water. Your consultant will confirm the exact site location, start time, and any specific requirements (like a hard hat, which is often provided) before your first shift.
Does Quick Placement offer roles outside of construction labouring?
Absolutely. Quick Placement is a multi-sector recruitment agency. While we are recruiting strongly for General Labourers in Bristol, we also have a vast network of opportunities in warehousing, logistics, hospitality, retail, cleaning, and administrative support. Registering with us once gives you access to all these sectors. For example, you can browse our hospitality recruitment page or our construction staffing services to see the breadth of roles we fill.
