But you do need to be practical, lateral thinking, adaptable, willing to learn on the job, comfortable working on a construction site and working outdoors in all weathers. However, if you do have experience, some of the skills and types of experience that could be beneficial include:

  • Bricklaying, paving, curbing, civils, woodwork, drainage, plumbing and experience of using construction hand tools and machinery
  • Experience of working on a construction site, site safety, CDM, risk assessments and safe working methods 
  • Plan reading and setting out on site, using a laser level
  • Managing or working within a small team, managing projects to time, managing deliveries
