General Labourer Recruitment in London and the South East
Hard Hat is a specialist construction recruitment agency supplying general labourers to construction sites across London, the M25 and the South East. We work exclusively in construction — no white-collar generalism, no admin temps — so when you register with us you go on the books of recruiters who actually understand the trade.
General labourers are the backbone of every construction project. They handle essential site tasks including clearing debris, moving materials, mixing concrete, digging trenches, loading skips, and supporting skilled tradespeople. A CSCS Green Card (Labourer) is the minimum requirement for most sites, and labourers must be physically fit, reliable, and safety-conscious. Hard Hat supplies general labourers across London and the South East for residential, commercial, and infrastructure projects. Whether you need one operative or a full site team, we can mobilise vetted labourers at short notice.
Whether you are looking for your next general labourer job, want a contractor to swap into a better-paying site, or you are a main contractor needing reliable general labourer supply, we mobilise quickly. We supply to Tier 1 and Tier 2 contractors on residential, commercial, fit-out, civils and infrastructure projects.
