What is the difference between general labourer and a skilled labourer? We seem to be getting this question from quite a lot of clients recently. Well we would like to clear things up as there are some bad companies out there that offer you skilled labourers who cannot even tie their shoe laces.
General Labourer
A general labourer is an un-skilled labourer that generally carries out basic labour tasks like rubbish removal, site cleaning, loading and un-loading. Most general labourers have little or no experience in using some of the tools used in the construction industry today.
CAPABILITIES:
- Site Cleaning
- Rubbish Removal
- Heavy Lifting
- Wheel Barrowing
- Loading Skips
- Digging
- Loading
- Manual Handling
Skilled Labourer
A skilled labourer is someone who can carry out more complex task and use advanced tools to carry out those tasks. For example if a client wants the wall and floor tiles striped in a bathroom strip-out then they would require a Skilled Labourer with Jackhammers that can carry out this task.
CAPABILITIES:
- Structural Demolition
- Hand Core Drilling
- Oxy Cutting
