Summary
Compare labouring, trade, apprenticeship and plant-operation vacancies separately. College, apprenticeship and direct-entry routes can be relevant. Check the site's accepted card scheme and the evidence required for the particular occupation.

Operate tools and plant only when trained, competent and authorised for the task. Check role-specific age, licence, screening and site-access requirements; they should not be treated as identical for every construction vacancy.
