Job Description
We are urgently seeking a diligent and physically fit Labourer to join a busy team on a key commercial project in the heart of Dundee DD1. This is a hands-on role central to the smooth operation of a construction site, requiring a proactive attitude, a strong work ethic, and a commitment to health and safety. You will be supporting skilled tradespeople, managing materials, and ensuring the worksite is clean, organised, and safe. This position offers an immediate start for the right candidate, with the potential to transition into longer-term work based on performance and project needs. Whether you're a seasoned labourer or someone with strong transferable skills looking to break into the construction industry, this role provides a fantastic entry point with a reputable local employer.
As a leading temporary staffing agency in the region, Temporary Staff Agency acts as the crucial link between talented workers and Dundee's dynamic business landscape. We understand the local market's rhythms, from major infrastructure projects to commercial fit-outs. By applying through us, you gain access to a wider network of opportunities beyond this single role. We manage your payroll, ensure you are placed in compliant and safe working environments, and advocate on your behalf. For insights into the broader benefits of temporary work, our resource, The Ultimate Guide To Temp Work Staffing, offers valuable perspective. This role is perfect for someone who values flexibility, variety, and the chance to contribute to Dundee's ongoing development.
Key Responsibilities
- Assisting tradespeople (e.g., carpenters, bricklayers, electricians) by fetching tools, materials, and preparing work areas as directed.
- Loading, unloading, transporting, and distributing building materials, tools, and equipment safely around the site using appropriate manual handling techniques or machinery like wheelbarrows.
- Maintaining a clean, tidy, and hazard-free worksite by clearing rubble, debris, and waste, and ensuring proper disposal in designated skips or recycling areas.
- Digging trenches, backfilling holes, and compacting soil to prepare sites for foundations, drainage, or landscaping work.
- Rigidly adhering to all site-specific health and safety regulations, including wearing correct Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), participating in daily briefings (toolbox talks), and reporting any hazards or near misses immediately.
What We're Looking For
- Proven experience as a Labourer on a construction or industrial site is highly desirable, but we will also consider candidates with strong physical fitness and a demonstrable willingness to learn.
- A valid CSCS card (Construction Skills Certification Scheme) is a significant advantage and may be required for certain site accesses. We can advise on obtaining one if needed.
- Excellent physical stamina and the ability to perform manual labour in all weather conditions, including lifting, carrying, bending, and standing for extended periods.
- A strong, proactive team player with a positive attitude, good timekeeping, and a fundamental understanding of and respect for health and safety practices on site.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need my own tools and PPE for this Labourer role?
For most general labouring positions, the principal contractor or our client will provide all necessary major tools and site-specific Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) such as hard hats, hi-vis vests, and safety boots. However, it is always advisable to have your own basic PPE if possible, and you should come prepared with suitable workwear (sturdy trousers, weatherproof jacket). Your consultant will confirm specific requirements before you start.
How quickly can I start working after applying?
For roles marked"Immediate Start" or"ASAP", we aim for a lightning-fast turnaround. If your documentation is in order and you pass the initial screening, it is possible to be registered and on site within 24-48 hours. The speed depends on the client's specific vetting requirements and your immediate availability.
What are the typical shift patterns for Labourer jobs in Dundee?
Standard shifts are usually Monday to Friday, 8 hours per day (e.g., 7:30 am - 4:30 pm or 8:00 am - 5:00 pm), with a break. Overtime at weekends or extended hours may be available on some sites, often at enhanced rates. We also have part-time and flexible shift patterns for those seeking less than full-time hours.
I don't have a CSCS card. Can I still apply?
Yes, you can still apply. Many labouring roles, particularly on smaller sites or in warehouses, do not require a CSCS card. However, for larger construction sites, it is often mandatory. If you are a strong candidate without a card, we can advise you on the quickest and most cost-effective way to obtain one, as it significantly increases the number of sites you can work on.
How does pay work with Temporary Staff Agency?
You are paid weekly, directly into your bank account. You submit your timesheet (usually electronically) at the end of your working week. Once approved by the site supervisor and our team, payment is processed. You will receive a payslip detailing your hours, rate, any deductions, and accrued holiday pay. It's a simple, transparent system.
What if this specific Labourer role is filled when I apply?
The demand for reliable labourers in Dundee is constant. By applying or registering with us, you enter our active candidate pool. Our consultants will immediately consider you for this role and any other similar vacancies that match your profile. We frequently have multiple openings across construction, industrial, and warehouse environments. We'll work to place you as quickly as possible.
