These roles often require extensive experience, certifications, and working in high-risk or high-value projects, sometimes involving overtime or hazardous conditions.

What qualifications do I need for demolition?

Demolition operatives typically need a valid CSCS card or equivalent certification, relevant health and safety training, and experience with tools and machinery used in demolition work. Some roles may require specific qualifications such as a demolition operative certificate or relevant vocational training.
