Started as a chippy, worked my way up through the ranks to a site manager. Still got my gold cscs carpentry cscs and black managers one. On a guaranteed salary plus decent bonuses. Life is good. Don’t fool for this nonsense.

I got absolutely turned over proper I let my CSCS run out. Didn’t need it for about two or three years when I went to renew it. My city and guilds was no longer valid. They changed my number cost me 440 quid to get a green card when I’ve always had a blue card or a black cardabsolutely shafted

Pros and cons to it same as any other job. We subcontract of a really good firm and have really good managers and most site agents I work with I get along with really well. Some days are long and yes the weather is shocking But we also have many pros to it.

100% they check. Site managers( wankers) scan your car. Most of the big construction companies have "sign in" apps.

Been a carpenter for almost 50 years run jobs as a manager for over 20 years then I was told to keep my cards I had to do nvqs total insult when you see how many clamp bashers and idiots calling themselves tradesmen and manager that's why the industry is going down the pan
