Jobs you could do

  • Construction labourer. Entry-level site work once you have your safety card.
  • Groundworker. Outdoor civil engineering and groundworks roles.
  • Construction operative. General site duties across housebuilding and commercial projects.
  • Warehouse or logistics operative. Health and safety knowledge transfers to other physical environments.
  • Apprentice in a construction trade. A foundation for carpentry, bricklaying, or plastering apprenticeships.

What you could study next

A natural next step is the Level 1 Award in Health, Safety and Environment in Construction, which supports applications for a CSCS Green Labourer card. From there, a Level 2 NVQ in a specific trade such as bricklaying, carpentry, or plastering can open the door to a CSCS Skilled Worker card. If you want to move into a safety-focused role, the IOSH Working Safely Award is a widely requested qualification for site workers.
