Job Opportunity: Gateman

Location: South Shields

Pay Rate: Competitive Rates (CIS, PAYE, and Umbrella options available)

Duration: Short-term cover

The Opportunity

Search Consultancy is looking for a reliable and assertive Gateman / Traffic Marshal for a short-term cover placement on a busy construction site in South Shields.

As the first point of contact for the project, you will play a critical role in site safety and security. This is an ideal opportunity for a local operative looking to pick up steady hours on a well-managed development right on Tyneside.

Your Role & Responsibilities

Working on a fast-paced site in South Shields, you will be responsible for:

Access Control: Managing the site gates, checking in all visitors, and ensuring only authorised personnel enter the site.

Traffic Management: Safely banking, directing, and guiding delivery vehicles, wagons, and plant machinery into and out of the site entrance.

Pedestrian Safety: Ensuring members of the public and site workers remain completely clear of vehicle moving zones.

Deliveries Log: Recording and coordinating delivery schedules with the Site Manager to prevent traffic congestion on the surrounding public roads.

Site Security: Maintaining a secure boundary and representing the main contractor in a professional manner.

What We're Looking For

CSCS Card: A valid CSCS card is mandatory for this site.

Traffic Marshal / Traffic Banksman Ticket: A recognised vehicle banksman or traffic marshal qualification is essential.

Reliability: Since this is short-term cover, punctuality and high attendance are non-negotiable to keep the gates manned.

Communication Skills: Confident and clear communication when speaking with delivery drivers, site management, and the public.

PPE: Must have full standard 5-point PPE (including a high-visibility vest/jacket).

Right to Work: Must have a valid right to work in the UK.

Why Work With Search?

Flexible Pay Options: Choose the payroll model that suits you best-fully compliant CIS, PAYE, or Umbrella terms available.

Weekly Pay: Reliable, on-time payments hitting your account every Friday.

South Shields Central: Convenient local work, saving you money on fuel and commuting times.

Stay on Our Radar: Short-term cover roles are the perfect way to impress our contractors and get first refusal on our upcoming long-term projects in the North East.

Search is an equal opportunities recruiter and we welcome applications from all suitably skilled or qualified applicants, regardless of their race, sex, disability, religion/beliefs, sexual orientation or age
