Job Description
As a leading recruitment and temporary staffing agency in the West Midlands, Recruiting Today is currently seeking a dedicated and physically fit Demolition Labourer / Operative for a prominent construction project in the heart of Birmingham B5. This role is critical to the site’s progress, involving the safe and efficient dismantling of structures, clearing of sites, and preparation for new builds. Our client is a respected contractor known for investing in their workforce and maintaining high standards of health and safety. This is not just a job; it’s a chance to be part of Birmingham’s ongoing transformation, working on projects that reshape the city’s skyline and infrastructure. We specialise in connecting talent with opportunity, and for the right candidate, this temporary role offers the potential for long-term, stable employment through our temp-to-perm pathways.
Why apply through Recruiting Today? We understand the local market. While we’re placing Demolition Operatives today, our network spans across sectors. Whether you’re a Plasterer looking for finishing work, a Barista seeking a role in the city’s bustling cafes, or a Cleaning Operative for post-construction cleans, registering with us opens doors. We streamline the hiring process, ensuring you get paid accurately and on time, every week. By choosing us, you’re not just finding a job; you’re gaining a partner for your career in Birmingham. Just as we successfully staff Warehouse Operative roles in Trafford Park or manage on-demand-staffing for critical projects, we apply the same diligence and support to every construction placement.
Key Responsibilities
- Safely and systematically assist in the demolition of internal and external structures using hand tools, power tools, and under guidance for mechanical equipment.
- Manual handling of materials including brick, concrete, timber, and metal, ensuring waste is segregated and placed in designated skips or containers for recycling or disposal.
- Maintain a clean, tidy, and hazard-free worksite, performing sweeping, clearing, and basic cleaning operative duties to ensure safety and efficiency for all trades.
- Adhere strictly to all site-specific Risk Assessments, Method Statements (RAMS), and health & safety protocols, including wearing full PPE at all times.
- Support other trades on site as directed by the site supervisor, which may include unloading materials, setting up barriers, or assisting a Plasterer with preparation work.
What We're Looking For
- Proven experience as a Demolition Labourer, Construction Operative, or in a similar manual, physically demanding role. A valid CSCS card is highly advantageous.
- A strong, unwavering commitment to health and safety. You must be vigilant, proactive about identifying risks, and compliant with all site rules.
- Excellent physical fitness and stamina, with the ability to perform heavy lifting, work at height (with training), and in all weather conditions when required.
- A reliable, punctual, and team-oriented attitude. The ability to take instruction, work effectively under supervision, and contribute to a positive site culture is essential.
Salary & Benefits
We believe in transparent and fair compensation. While the exact rate for this Demolition Labourer / Operative role is dependent on your specific experience and the project requirements, we offer highly competitive pay that reflects the skilled and essential nature of the work. Rates are discussed upfront and are designed to attract the best talent in Birmingham.
What You Can Expect:
- Weekly Pay: Get paid reliably every week, directly into your bank account. No waiting for monthly payroll.
- Holiday Pay Accrual: Your statutory holiday pay is calculated and available to you.
- Immediate Start: Once vetted and registered, you can often begin work within days, not weeks.
- Career Pathway: Demonstrate your skill and reliability, and we will advocate for temp-to-perm opportunities or recommend you for more advanced roles.
- Local Work: Focus on sites in and around Birmingham B5, minimising travel time and maximising your earning potential.
Our benefits package is about providing stability and opportunity. Just as we support candidates in roles from Dispatch Operative jobs in London to Interim Finance Director placements, we tailor our support to the sector. For construction, this includes guidance on certifications and connecting you with the right projects for your skills.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a CSCS card to work as a Demolition Labourer in Birmingham B5?
While not always mandatory, a valid CSCS (Construction Skills Certification Scheme) card is highly preferred and often required by larger contractors on regulated sites. It demonstrates your health and safety awareness. If you don’t have one, speak to our consultants. We can often guide you on obtaining the right card and may have roles that allow you to start while you arrange it.
What kind of PPE will I need to provide?
You are typically expected to provide your own basic PPE, including safety boots (with steel toe cap and mid-sole protection) and hi-visibility clothing. Site-specific PPE like hard hats, gloves, goggles, ear defenders, and dust masks are usually provided by the client or agency. We will confirm the exact requirements for this specific Birmingham B5 site during your registration.
Is this demolition work indoor or outdoor?
The role can involve both. Many projects in the Birmingham B5 area involve interior strip-outs of commercial buildings (offices, retail) as well as external structural demolition. You should be prepared to work in various conditions. The specific details of the current project will be clarified during your screening call with Recruiting Today.
How does weekly pay work with Recruiting Today?
It’s simple and reliable. You submit your timesheet at the end of the week (usually via an app or online portal). Once approved by the site supervisor, we process your pay. Funds are then transferred directly to your bank account, typically every Friday. You will receive a detailed payslip outlining your hours, rate, and any deductions.
What are the typical shift patterns for demolition operatives?
Most roles follow a standard construction day, typically 7:30/8:00 AM to 4:30/5:00 PM, Monday to Friday. Some projects may offer overtime at weekends or require earlier starts. We also list flexible and part-time opportunities across other sectors, such as Cleaning Operative jobs in Wolverhampton or Pharmacy Assistant roles in London E14, if your availability varies.
Can this temporary role lead to a permanent position?
Absolutely. Many of our temporary placements are used by clients as an extended working interview. If you demonstrate strong skills, reliability, and a good attitude, the client may offer a permanent contract. We actively facilitate these temp-to-perm transitions. It’s a proven pathway to secure long-term employment, similar to opportunities we see in Distribution Supervisor jobs in SE17.
