Secure Your Interview →Frequently Asked Questions
A Traffic Marshal (or Banksman) is primarily responsible for the safe movement of vehicles and machinery on site. In Derby, this often involves managing deliveries from suppliers for Quantity Surveyor managed projects, directing HGVs around tight site perimeters, and ensuring pedestrian workers are kept safe from moving plant. They implement the site's Traffic Management Plan, use clear signals, and are a key part of preventing collisions and strikes.
A CSCS Labourer card (Green card) allows you to work on site but not specifically as a Traffic Marshal. For this role, you require a CSCS Traffic Marshal Card (often a Blue"Skilled Worker" card) which proves you have passed the relevant health, safety, and environment test for that occupation. Some clients may accept a CPCS or NPORS Banksman ticket. We can advise on the quickest route to obtaining the correct card if you have relevant experience.
While most roles are in construction, Traffic Marshals are also needed in logistics yards, large manufacturing plants, at film/TV locations, and for major public events. For example, we sometimes work with an Event Coordinator to provide marshals for crowd and vehicle management during festivals or concerts at venues around Derby. The core skills are transferable, but the environment may differ.
At Staffing Service, we pride ourselves on speed. For candidates with all documents (CSCS, Right to Work) ready, the registration process can be completed in under 24 hours. Interviews with our clients are often arranged immediately, and successful candidates can be on site within 48-72 hours of first contact. This is part of our commitment to providing rapid staffing solutions for both job seekers and employers.
Absolutely. We are a full-service agency for the Derby region.
