Job Description
Staffing Service is actively seeking a skilled and reliable Steel Fixer for a major construction project in the heart of Edinburgh's EH1 postcode. This is a vital role supporting the structural integrity of a new commercial development, offering an immediate start for the right candidate. Our client is a leading national contractor with a strong reputation for quality and safety, and they require a dedicated professional to join their on-site team. This position represents an excellent opportunity to work on a high-profile project in a central location, with the potential for further temporary work across Edinburgh and the Lothians through our extensive network.
As a specialist in construction staffing, Staffing Service connects top-tier tradespeople with reputable employers. We understand the specific demands of the Edinburgh construction market and the critical skill set required for effective steel fixing. Applying through us means you benefit from our direct relationships with site managers, streamlined payment processes, and ongoing support. Whether you're looking for a long-term placement or flexible assignments, registering with our Construction Staffing Service opens doors to numerous projects, much like the opportunities we provide for Joiner in Glasgow, G1 or Bricklayer roles in London.
Key Responsibilities
- Cut, bend, and fix steel reinforcement bars (rebar) according to engineering drawings and specifications for concrete structures.
- Assemble and secure rebar cages, mesh, and frameworks using tie wire, clips, and spacers to ensure precise positioning before concrete pours.
- Work closely with site foremen, crane operators, and other trades to coordinate the safe lifting and placement of heavy rebar assemblies.
- Conduct thorough checks of all fixings for accuracy, stability, and compliance with structural plans, reporting any discrepancies immediately.
- Maintain a clean, safe, and organised work area, adhering strictly to all site safety protocols, including wearing full PPE at all times.
What We're Looking For
- Proven experience as a Steel Fixer, with a solid portfolio of work on commercial or large-scale residential projects.
- A valid CSCS card is essential, with additional safety certifications (e.g., SSSTS, First Aid) being a significant advantage.
- The ability to read and interpret complex structural drawings and reinforcement schedules with a high degree of accuracy.
- A strong commitment to health and safety, a reliable attitude, and the physical fitness to perform manual handling tasks in all weather conditions.
Salary & Benefits
We offer a highly competitive pay rate for this Steel Fixer in Edinburgh role, which will be discussed upon application and is based on your level of experience, qualifications, and the specific project requirements. Rates are designed to attract and retain the best talent in the region. In addition to a strong hourly or daily rate, you will benefit from our comprehensive agency worker package.
Your Benefits Package Includes:
- Weekly Pay: Get paid reliably every week, without delay.
- Holiday Pay Accrual: Your statutory holiday pay is managed and paid in line with regulations.
- Temp-to-Perm Pathway: Demonstrate your skills and this temporary role could lead to a permanent position with the end client.
- Dedicated Consultant: You’ll have a single point of contact who understands construction and will advocate for you.
- Ongoing Work: Success in this role leads to priority access to other projects in EH1 and beyond, from commercial builds to infrastructure.
We believe in fair compensation for skilled work. Just as we secure competitive rates for Front of House Staff in London, W1 or specialised Warehouse Operatives, we ensure our tradespeople are rewarded appropriately for their expertise and the demanding nature of their work.

Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can I start this Steel Fixer role in EH1?
We are recruiting for an immediate start. For candidates with all documentation (CSCS card, right-to-work, references) ready, the process from application to site induction can often be completed within 48-72 hours. The client needs staff urgently.
What kind of projects will I be working on in Edinburgh?
The current vacancy is for a major commercial development in central EH1. However, through Staffing Service, you could work on a variety of projects across the city, including residential high-rises, hospital extensions, university buildings, and civil engineering infrastructure like bridges and retaining walls.
Do you provide PPE or tools for the job?
Basic mandatory PPE (hard hat, hi-vis vest, safety boots) is typically required to be provided by the worker. Some sites may provide specific items. You will need your own basic hand tools (pliers, rebar tying tools, tape measure, spanner). Power tools for cutting/bending are usually supplied by the employer. Your consultant will confirm the exact requirements for this specific site.
Is there a chance this temporary role could become permanent?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our temporary construction placements are used by clients to assess a worker's skill, attitude, and fit with the team with a view to a permanent offer. Performing well, demonstrating reliability, and showing initiative are the key factors. We actively facilitate these temp-to-perm transitions.
What makes Staffing Service different from other agencies in Edinburgh?
We combine deep local market knowledge with a professional, candidate-focused approach. Our consultants are specialists in their sectors. We also invest in resources like our guide on strategic hiring to better serve both clients and candidates. You're not just a number; we build relationships and aim to provide consistent, quality work opportunities.
I'm a Steel Fixer but also have experience as a Labourer. Can I be considered for other roles?
Certainly. When you register with us, we assess your full skill set. This allows us to put you forward for steel fixing roles first but also consider you for other general construction or skilled trades positions during quieter periods or if you're seeking variety. It increases your potential work days.
