Labourers – Glasgow Project – AdHoc

Job Summary: Labourers (Catering Equipment Moves)

Manpower is recruiting hardworking and reliable Labourers for a project-based role focused on the logistics and installation of heavy catering equipment. While the project begins in Glasgow, the scope covers various sites across Scotland, making this an excellent fit for flexible workers who enjoy site-based manual labour and are looking for competitive hourly pay.

Key Responsibilities

• Manual Handling: Heavily involved in the delivery, removal, and precise positioning of large catering units (ovens, refrigeration, etc.).

• Logistics Support: Loading and unloading transport vehicles, including vans, lorries, and containers.

• Site Support: Assisting installation teams with general labouring tasks and ensuring the work area remains clear and safe.

• Health & Safety: Strictly adhering to site safety protocols and manual handling guidelines to prevent injury or equipment damage.

Role Details

• Pay Rate: £14.00 per hour.

• Location: Primary site in Glasgow, with potential travel to other Scottish locations.

• Schedule: Ad hoc / project-based. Usual hours are 8:00 AM – 4:00 PM (minimum 8 hours/day).

• Start Date: The first project phase runs on March 25th for 1–2 days, with more dates to follow.

Candidate Requirements

• CSCS Card: You must hold a valid CSCS Green Card to be eligible for site entry.

• Physical Fitness: Capability to perform heavy lifting repeatedly and safely throughout an 8-hour shift.

• Reliability: Punctuality is critical for scheduled site moves and transport windows.

• Flexibility: Willingness to work on an ad hoc basis and travel to different project locations as required.

Why This Role?

This isn’t just “general” labouring; it’s specialized logistics. Working with high-value catering equipment requires a higher level of care and coordination than standard site clearance, which is reflected in the £14.00/hour pay rate—well above the standard entry-level labouring average.

Application Tip: Manual Handling Focus

When you speak with the Manpower recruiter, emphasize your experience with heavy lifting. If you have worked in removals, warehouse loading, or previous equipment installations, mention that specifically. They are looking for people who understand how to move heavy objects without damaging the equipment or the site floors/walls.
