- Working collaboratively with the site team, including crane operators and concreters, to ensure efficient workflow and timely completion of reinforcement phases.

Frequently Asked Questions
What qualifications do I need to work as a Steel Fixer in Manchester?
The essential qualification is a valid CSCS (Construction Skills Certification Scheme) card, typically a Blue Skilled Worker card or higher. While formal apprenticeships are valuable, proven on-site experience is often the primary requirement. Additional certifications like SSSTS (Site Supervisor Safety Training Scheme), First Aid at Work, or PASMA are highly regarded and can increase your pay rate. Temporary Staff Agency can advise on any necessary training if required for a specific role.
How quickly can I start a Steel Fixer job in Manchester M17?
For candidates with the right documents and availability, starts can be incredibly fast—often within 24-48 hours. The process involves a quick registration with our agency, verification of your right to work, CSCS card, and references. For many of our urgent roles, like this one in Manchester M17, the client is ready for an immediate induction. Simply call us on +44 333 242 2711 or email your CV to begin the process.
What is the typical pay rate for a Steel Fixer in the Manchester area?
Pay rates vary based on experience, project complexity, and specific location. Currently in the Greater Manchester area, rates for Steel Fixers range from approximately £17 to £23 per hour. Senior fixers or gangers can command higher rates. All pay through Temporary Staff Agency is weekly, and we ensure you are paid accurately and on time for all hours worked. We discuss the specific rate for each role upfront during the application process.
Do you provide PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) for temporary roles?
It depends on the client and the specific site rules. Some larger contractors provide all necessary PPE, while others expect workers to bring their own basic kit (hard hat, hi-vis, safety boots, gloves). We will always clarify the PPE requirements before you start a assignment. We strongly recommend having your own core safety equipment to ensure you are always site-ready.
Can temporary Steel Fixer work lead to a permanent job?
Absolutely. Many of our temporary placements are used by clients as an extended interview process. If you demonstrate skill, reliability, and a good fit with the team, it is very common for temporary contracts to be extended or converted into permanent positions. We actively promote temp-to-perm opportunities and will support you in making that transition if it's your goal.

We are a leading provider for a wide range of construction and trade roles across Manchester and the North West. Beyond Steel Fixers, we regularly recruit for General Labourers, Groundworkers, Carpenters, Bricklayers, Plant Operatives, and Site Managers.
