A CSCS card is your ticket to work on any construction site in the UK. Without it, you can't get past the gates. With it, labourer roles pay £15-20/hour — and there are thousands of them available right now.

How Much Do CSCS Labourers Earn?

CSCS labourer rates vary by region and type of work:

  • General labourer (outside London): £14-17/hour
  • General labourer (London/South East): £16-20/hour
  • Experienced site labourer: £17-22/hour
  • Long-term positions: often pay more per hour

Getting Your CSCS Card

You need a green CSCS Labourer Card to work on most sites. To get one:

  1. Pass the CITB Health, Safety and Environment test (around £22)
  2. Complete the Level 1 Health & Safety in a Construction Environment course
  3. Apply for your green CSCS card (£36)

Total cost: under £100. Most agencies will help you through the process if you don't have it yet.
