Permanent, Full Time Build Better with Gusto Construction Gusto Construction has been delivering high-quality developments for over 30 years, with particular expertise in low-carbon homes, community-led developments and affordable housing. We provide an end-to-end service, taking projects from initial design and concept through construction to completion and aftercare. As one of the first UK construction companies to achieve B Corp certification, we are proud to be part of a growing movement of businesses committed to balancing people, planet and profit.

We are looking for an experienced and reliable Skilled Site Labourer to join our Construction team.

The Role This is a varied, hands-on role suited to someone with good practical construction experience who is comfortable turning their hand to different tasks and supporting trades across our developments. Working closely with the Site Manager and wider site team, you will help keep projects moving by supporting trades throughout the construction process, from groundwork and early build stages through to finishing, snagging and completion.

No two days will necessarily be the same. You could be preparing plots for trades, carrying out skilled labouring tasks, assisting with finishing works, moving materials or helping another area of the site to meet the construction programme. The role will also involve working across different Gusto Construction sites and driving company vehicles, including the tipper, when required. Your day-to-day responsibilities will include:

Assisting with internal sealing and other works required to support property air tightness. Supporting deliveries, waste management and the organisation of site storage areas. Maintaining clean, organised and safe plots and communal working areas. Working flexibly across the site to provide additional support wherever it is needed.

Following all Health & Safety requirements, company procedures and site rules. Working as part of the wider site team to achieve build programmes and Gusto's quality standards.

What Were Looking For This isn't a role where you will simply be carrying materials or keeping the site tidy. We are looking for someone with practical construction skills and previous site experience who can work independently when required, use their initiative appropriately and confidently support different trades. You will need to be reliable, flexible and willing to get involved wherever your skills are needed.
