Build Your Career With London's Most Structured Contractor

Most construction companies have no process, no training and no career path. Sites run on chaos, payment is unpredictable, and good people get held back. RCB is different.

We are a structured, professional and growing principal contractor. Our projects run to a clear process, our team is supported and developed, and there is a real route to progress. If you take pride in your work, we want to hear from you.

Questions from Applicants

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a CSCS card to work at RCB?

For most site-based roles a valid CSCS card is required, and for labourers it is essential. If you do not yet hold a CSCS card, we can support you in obtaining one — it is one of the ways we invest in our team. Office-based and remote roles such as Operations Coordinator and Marketing Assistant do not require a CSCS card.

What areas do you cover?

RCB works across London and the surrounding areas, including East, North, South and West London, as well as Essex and Kent. Most site roles are based on projects within Greater London and the South East. The Marketing Assistant role can be carried out remotely for the right candidate.

Do you hire subcontractors?

Yes. Many of our trades — including carpenters, electricians, plumbers, plasterers, bricklayers, tilers, roofers and painters — work with us on a subcontract or contract basis. We value reliable, high-quality subcontractors who want a steady pipeline of well-managed work. We also employ team members directly in roles such as site management, labouring and office positions, which come with holiday pay and pension contributions.

What is the interview process?

It starts with you sending your CV to connect@rcbGroup.co.uk — or messaging us on WhatsApp — together with a 3–5 minute video presentation of yourself (a phone recording is fine). Tell us who you are, your experience, your skills and why you want to work with RCB. We review your video before we read your CV. If there is a fit, we arrange an informal chat — by phone, video or in person. For trade roles we will discuss your tickets, certifications and recent work. Successful candidates are then invited to start, often with a trial period on a live project so both sides know it is the right fit.

Do I need my own tools and transport?

We provide professional tools, plant and equipment on our sites. Many of our trades bring their own hand tools, but specialist equipment is supplied. Reliable transport is helpful for getting to sites across London, but is not essential for every role.

What qualifications and certifications do you look for?

It depends on the role — for example, Part P certification for electricians and Gas Safe registration (preferred) for plumbers. Across all roles we look for relevant experience, the right tickets for the trade, a strong commitment to health and safety, and pride in the quality of your work. Where you are missing a card or qualification, we will often support you in getting it.
