Job Description
Staff Direct is actively seeking a meticulous and safety-conscious Construction Site Cleaner to support a high-profile construction project in the heart of Leeds LS9. This role is far more than just sweeping; it is a fundamental part of the construction process, ensuring a clean, safe, and hazard-free environment for all tradespeople, from Demolition Labourers to finishing teams. A clean site is a safe and productive site, reducing the risk of accidents, preventing damage to materials and finished work, and ensuring the project adheres to strict health and safety regulations. Our client is a reputable main contractor with a strong portfolio across Yorkshire, and they require a dedicated cleaner who takes pride in their work and understands the critical importance of their role in the project's success.
By applying for this position through Staff Direct, you gain access to our extensive network of construction clients across Leeds. We don't just fill a single vacancy; we look at your skills and match you with roles that suit your experience and career goals. Whether you're looking for a long-term assignment on one site or prefer the variety of shorter-term temporary jobs, we work with you to find the right fit. This particular role in LS9 offers an immediate start, meaning you can begin earning competitive weekly pay without delay. We handle all the admin, provide clear communication, and ensure you are paid accurately and on time for every hour you work.
Key Responsibilities
- Performing daily cleaning sweeps of the construction site, including all work areas, corridors, stairwells, and site cabins to remove dust, debris, and waste materials.
- Safely collecting, segregating, and disposing of construction waste (e.g., plasterboard, timber off-cuts, packaging) into designated skips and waste containers in accordance with site waste management plans.
- Operating and maintaining industrial cleaning equipment such as industrial vacuum cleaners (M-Class for dust control), floor scrubbers, and pressure washers as required.
- Cleaning and sanitising welfare facilities (toilets, canteens) regularly to ensure they meet high hygiene standards for all site personnel.
- Carrying out"final clean" or"snagging clean" duties in completed areas, removing all traces of construction dust and debris to prepare spaces for handover to the client or next trade.
What We're Looking For
- Proven experience as a Construction Site Cleaner, Industrial Cleaner, or in a similar labour-intensive cleaning role. Experience in a live construction environment is highly advantageous.
- A strong understanding of, and commitment to, health and safety protocols on a construction site. Awareness of COSHH regulations regarding cleaning chemicals is beneficial.
- Reliability, a strong work ethic, and the ability to work effectively both independently with minimal supervision and as part of a larger site team.
- Your own basic Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) – safety boots (with mid-sole protection) and high-visibility clothing are mandatory. A hard hat and gloves can often be provided on site.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a typical day look like for a Construction Site Cleaner in Leeds LS9?
Your day starts with a site induction and tool-box talk. You'll then be tasked with specific zones to clean, which involves sweeping, vacuuming (using industrial M-Class vacuums to control silica dust), clearing debris from walkways, emptying bins, and cleaning welfare units. The work is physical and requires constant awareness of other site activities. The goal is to maintain a tidy, safe working environment for all trades throughout the day.
Do I need any specific qualifications or a CSCS card for this role?
While a CSCS Labourer card is highly desirable and often requested by larger contractors, it is not always mandatory for a dedicated cleaning role, especially for an immediate start. However, having one significantly increases your employability on major sites. The most important requirements are proven experience, reliability, and your own basic PPE (safety boots and hi-vis). We can often advise on obtaining a CSCS card if needed.
How does the pay and hours work with Staff Direct?
You will be paid an hourly rate, agreed upon before you start. Hours are typically full-time, Monday to Friday, with potential for overtime. You submit your timesheet, and we pay you weekly, directly into your bank account. All pay is subject to statutory deductions (PAYE, NI). We are transparent about pay rates from the outset. For a broader view of opportunities, check our Immediate Start Job Vacancies in Leeds page.
Is there a chance this temporary role could become permanent?
Yes, many of our temporary construction placements have the potential to become long-term or even permanent roles for the right candidate. Demonstrating a strong work ethic, reliability, and a positive attitude on site is key. The client often uses temporary assignments as an extended interview process. We have a strong track record of placing candidates into permanent positions through our temp-to-perm pathway.
What if I don't have construction experience but have commercial cleaning experience?
Transferable skills are valuable. Experience in industrial, warehouse, or large-scale commercial cleaning is highly relevant. The main difference is the environment – a construction site is more dynamic and has specific safety hazards. We can provide the necessary site-specific safety briefings. Your professionalism and cleaning skills are the foundation we look for.
How quickly can I start after applying?
For roles marked"Immediate Start" or"ASAP Start", the process can be very fast. Once we receive your application, a consultant will call you for a brief screening interview. If suitable, we can often arrange a site induction for the next working day, provided you have the right PPE and can pass any necessary site checks. Our goal is to get you working and earning as soon as possible.
