General Construction Operative
The job: General construction operatives are masters of many trades, with an extraordinarily wide range of skills. Some of the areas that general construction operatives are often involved in are concreting, formworking and timbering. And, as you might expect, there’s a great demand for these people.
The people: This is a job for people who enjoy doing something different every week. A spell installing timber in trenches to make them safe to work in could be followed by a few days concreting the floor of an office block. You’ll have to know different safety procedures for each job you do. Above all, you’ll have to be flexible – happy to work indoors, outdoors, at great heights or depths.
This is not an exhaustive list of all the craft occupations within the construction industry.
