Job Description: Bricklayer for London E14 Construction Project
Recruiting Today is partnering with a leading principal contractor on a significant commercial development in London E14. We are seeking a competent Bricklayer to join their established team. The project involves high-specification commercial units and residential elements, requiring precision, speed, and a strong commitment to health and safety. This is not just another labouring job; it's a skilled trade position where your expertise in laying bricks, blocks, and stone will be crucial to the project's timeline and quality.
As a specialist in construction staffing, we understand the specific demands of London building sites. This role is perfect for a bricklayer who takes pride in their work, appreciates being part of a large-scale project, and wants the security of weekly pay through a reputable agency. Whether you're looking for a long-term temp position or a foot in the door with a major contractor, registering with Recruiting Today gives you access to this role and many others across the capital, much like the opportunities we provide for Dispatch Operatives or specialised construction professionals.
Key Responsibilities & Daily Duties
As the successful Bricklayer, your core duties will include:
- Setting Out & Measuring: Accurately setting out the work area from drawings, using ranging lines, pins, and spirit levels to ensure perfect alignment and level for brick and block walls, partitions, and other structures.
- Mixing & Applying Mortar: Preparing mortar mixes to the correct specification and consistency, and skillfully applying it with a trowel to lay bricks, concrete blocks, and stone. This includes cutting materials to size using powered cutters or hand tools.
- Building to Specification: Constructing walls, arches, and other structural elements as per architectural drawings, ensuring correct bonding patterns, cavity walls, and integration of insulation and damp-proof courses (DPC).
- Pointing & Finishing: Completing joints to a high standard, using various pointing techniques (flush, weatherstruck, recessed) to ensure weatherproofing and an aesthetically pleasing finish.
- Teamwork & Site Safety: Working collaboratively with other trades such as Construction Labourers and Electricians, maintaining a clean and safe workspace, and strictly adhering to all site safety regulations, including wearing full PPE at all times.
What We're Looking For: Essential & Desirable Criteria
To be considered for this immediate Bricklayer position in London E14, you will need to demonstrate the following:
- Proven Trade Experience: A minimum of 3 years of hands-on experience as a Bricklayer on UK construction sites, with a strong portfolio of completed work. References will be required.
- Valid CSCS Card: A current CSCS Card (any colour, preferably Blue Skilled Worker or Gold) is mandatory for site access. We can advise on obtaining one if needed.
- Own Tools & PPE: You must have your own reliable hand tools (trowels, levels, bolster chisels, etc.) and basic Personal Protective Equipment (hard hat, hi-vis, safety boots, gloves).
- Right to Work & Reliability: Full, proven right to work in the UK. We value punctuality, a strong work ethic, and a positive, can-do attitude above all. A full UK driving licence is advantageous but not essential for this site-based role.

Frequently Asked Questions for Bricklayer Jobs
What documents do I need to apply for this Bricklayer job?
You will need a valid CSCS Card, proof of your right to work in the UK (passport, biometric residence permit, etc.), and a CV detailing your bricklaying experience. If you have any trade qualifications (NVQ, City & Guilds), have those details to hand. We can help advise on CSCS card applications if needed.
How quickly can I start after applying?
For this"immediate start" role, the process is very fast. If your CV is a good match, we aim to conduct a telephone or video interview within 24 hours of application. Following a successful interview and reference checks, you could be on site within 2-3 days. This speed is a hallmark of our on-demand staffing service.
Is this a temporary or permanent position?
This specific role is offered as a long-term temporary assignment through Recruiting Today, with a clear temp-to-perm potential. This means you are employed by us and paid weekly, with the strong possibility of being taken on directly by the client contractor after a successful probationary period. We also list direct permanent recruitment roles on our site.
Do I need my own transport to get to the site in London E14?
While having your own transport is beneficial, the London E14 site is well-served by public transport (DLR, Jubilee Line, numerous bus routes). The exact site location and access details will be provided before your start date. Many of our workers commute via public transport.
What is the difference between working through an agency like Recruiting Today vs. being direct hire?
Working through us offers flexibility, weekly pay, and access to a variety of projects without long-term commitment. We handle your payroll, taxes, and provide ongoing support. A direct hire role offers traditional employment benefits (pension, holiday pay) directly from one company. We offer both types of opportunities; you can discuss your preference with your consultant. For more insights, watch our video "Temporary vs Permanent Work".
Can I apply if I have experience but no formal qualifications?
Yes, proven, hands-on experience is often valued as highly as formal qualifications in the trades. However, a valid CSCS Card is a non-negotiable health and safety requirement for almost all UK construction sites. If you have the experience but lack the card, talk to us – we can guide you on the quickest route to obtaining one.
