Construction Site Cleaner Job Description: Southampton SO15
Workers-Direct is partnering with leading construction firms and contractors across Southampton SO15 to recruit diligent, safety-conscious Construction Site Cleaners. This role is fundamental to maintaining site safety, compliance, and operational efficiency. A clean site is a safe and productive site, and your work will be directly valued by site managers and tradespeople alike.
As a specialist in construction recruitment, we understand the specific demands of site cleaning. This isn't just about tidiness; it's about hazard prevention, waste management, and supporting the critical path of construction projects. Whether you're looking for an immediate start to bridge a gap, or a temporary-to-permanent pathway, we have roles that offer genuine flexibility and career progression within the Southampton construction sector.
Key Responsibilities & Daily Duties
Your core mission is to ensure the construction environment is safe, compliant, and ready for work. Our clients, from residential developers to large commercial contractors, rely on cleaners to uphold the highest standards.
- Sweeping and vacuuming all work areas, corridors, site offices, and welfare facilities to control dust – a major health and safety priority on any build.
- Mopping and sanitising hard floors in canteens, toilets, and entry points to maintain hygiene standards for all site personnel.
- Cleaning windows, glass partitions, and signage to ensure clear visibility and a professional site appearance for clients and visitors.
- Deep cleaning of welfare units including kitchens, toilets, and changing areas, ensuring they are fully stocked and meet HSE standards.
- Safe collection, segregation, and disposal of construction waste (e.g., timber, packaging, plasterboard) into designated skips and recycling points, adhering to site waste management plans (SWMP).
- Identifying and reporting safety hazards such as spills, trip hazards from debris, or damaged walkways to the site supervisor immediately.
- Managing and emptying site litter bins and ashtrays in designated smoking areas to prevent fire risks.
- Assisting with post-trade cleans, preparing areas for the next phase of work by removing dust and leftover materials from completed sections.
- Restocking soap, paper towels, and toilet rolls in all welfare facilities as part of a daily check.
- Supporting site inductions by ensuring all common areas are presentable for new starters and visitors.
- Adhering strictly to all site safety rules, including wearing full PPE (high-vis, safety boots, gloves, mask) at all times.
- Operating cleaning machinery safely (e.g., industrial vacuums, floor scrubbers) after receiving appropriate training.
Essential Requirements & Skills
To be successful in this Construction Site Cleaner role in Southampton, you will need:
- Proven experience in commercial, industrial, or construction cleaning.
- A strong understanding of health and safety on a live construction site.
- Reliability, punctuality, and a strong work ethic.
- The physical fitness to perform manual tasks and be on your feet for a shift.
- Your own basic PPE (high-vis vest and safety boots) – further PPE is often provided.
- A right-to-work in the UK documentation.
- A proactive attitude and the ability to work with minimal supervision.
- A CSCS card is highly desirable, but not always essential for cleaning roles.

Shifts typically align with core construction hours, often starting early (e.g., 6am or 7am) to clean before trades arrive, or later to tidy after they finish. You might work 8-10 hour shifts, often Monday to Friday, with potential weekend work on fast-track projects. Your day involves a mix of scheduled deep cleans (welfare units) and reactive cleaning (spills, debris clearance). All work is conducted under strict site safety protocols. For more on flexible work structures, see our guide on Mastering Temp Job Agencies.
While not always mandatory for every cleaning role, a CSCS Labourer's Card (Green Card) is increasingly required by major contractors and on larger sites in SO15 as it proves your basic health and safety awareness. It significantly broadens the number of sites you can work on. If you don't have one, Workers-Direct can often advise you on the quickest route to obtaining it. For roles requiring specific safety credentials, our candidate screening process ensures a good match.
With Workers-Direct, you are paid weekly. Typically, hours worked in a week (Monday-Sunday) are processed and paid the following Friday. This reliable, weekly pay cycle is a major benefit of working through a reputable agency. You'll receive a clear timesheet and payslip detailing your hours and any holiday pay accrual.

Absolutely. Many of our Construction Site Cleaner placements begin as temporary cover but transition to permanent contracts for reliable, high-performing staff.

We also list dedicated permanent roles; exploring our employee recruitment services can provide more options.
We combine national reach with genuine local expertise in Southampton SO15. Our consultants are sector specialists, not generalists. We invest in understanding both our clients' projects and our candidates' career goals. This is backed by robust processes, from future-proof candidate screening to efficient onboarding.
