about groundworker jobs
If you enjoy working outdoors on construction sites, a groundworker job could be ideal for your skills. As a groundworker, you prepare the land and site for construction work. You prepare the subsurface and get it ready for laying the foundation of the building. Your duties include removing vegetation on site, installing drainage systems and laying concrete for construction work to commence. That means it is important to understand the building design specifications to ensure that the foundation and drainage systems are in place. Groundworkers also lay footpaths and prepare driveways after construction work.

how do I apply for a job as a groundworker?
Becoming a groundworker doesn't need educational qualification, but the following academic qualifications will propel your career:
- college course: if you are interested in becoming a groundworker, you need GCSE qualifications in English and Maths. The qualifications allow you to study for a Level 1 Certificate in Construction or Groundworks. Alternatively, you can get a Level 2 National Vocational Qualification (NVQ) Diploma in Groundworks. For the certificate, you need two GCSEs at grades 3 to 1, while the diploma course requires two or more GCSEs at Grades 9 to 3 (A* to D).
- apprenticeship: getting an apprenticeship with a construction company is a fantastic way to become a groundworker. Completing the level 2 groundworker apprenticeship is equivalent to five GCSE passes. The apprenticeship has no entry requirements, and you will split your time between training and working.
- work experience: even without educational qualifications, past work experience as a groundworker can land you a job. Aside from work experience, you need a Construction Skills Certification Scheme (CSCS) card to work at a construction site.
For information on the qualifications and relevant education needed for the role, see the education and qualifications section of our groundworker job profile.
