A scaffolder is an essential component in the construction or renewal of high-rise or industrial properties. A tradesman who helps erect a sturdy and secure scaffold is indirectly responsible for the safety of every person who treads on it once it has been passed as safe for use.
A successful applicant for a scaffolder’s job or contract needs to be able work as part of a team and be fully conversant with safety at work procedures. The incumbent should be able to deal with all erection and dismantling operations and perform any alterations that the site foreman asks for.
Most organisations and scaffolding contractors recognise and accept the Construction Industry Scaffolders Record Scheme (CISRS). Holders of valid CISRS cards are welcomed on construction and work sites. People with advanced level CISRS licenses have proved that they can undertake the more complex erections and oversee a gang.
Many of the job openings are paid on an hourly basis, with rates of up to £14.00 per hour or day rates of up to £110.00. In cases where the vacancy is for a full-time employee, a yearly salary of between £18,000 and £25,000 is the norm. Applicants need to be prepared to work anywhere in the UK. A current driving license offers candidates a distinct advantage.
