Traffic Marshal Jobs in Bristol BS8 – Immediate Start & Competitive Pay
Recruitment Agency London is hiring experienced Traffic Marshals for an urgent temporary-to-permanent assignment in the heart of Bristol BS8. Join a leading agency that connects skilled professionals with major construction and infrastructure projects across the South West.
Traffic Marshal Job Description – Bristol BS8
We are recruiting for a dedicated Traffic Marshal to join a major infrastructure project within the bustling Bristol BS8 postcode. This role is critical for maintaining site safety, ensuring the smooth flow of construction vehicles, and protecting both workers and the public. The ideal candidate will have proven experience in a similar Site Supervisor or traffic management capacity, with a steadfast commitment to Health & Safety regulations.
As a specialist recruitment agency serving Bristol and the South West, Recruitment Agency London partners with top-tier construction firms and principal contractors. By applying through us, you gain access to exclusive roles that aren't always advertised publicly, benefit from our expert negotiation on pay rates, and receive continuous support from a consultant who understands the local construction landscape in Bristol, much like we do for roles such as Warehouse Jobs in the city or Temporary Chef positions in the hospitality sector.
✋ A Note on Safety & Certification
This role requires a valid CSCS Card and relevant traffic management certification (e.g., Chapter 8, NHSS 12D). Safety is non-negotiable. If you need guidance on certifications, our consultants can advise on approved training providers in Bristol.
As the primary point of control for site vehicle movement, your duties will be varied and essential to daily operations. You will work closely with the Site Supervisor and construction team to implement traffic management plans.
- Safely direct and manage the flow of construction traffic, including HGVs, plant machinery, and delivery vehicles, entering and exiting the site in Bristol BS8, adhering strictly to the site-specific traffic management plan (TMP).
- Ensure pedestrian safety by maintaining clear segregation between footpaths and vehicle routes, using appropriate signage, barriers, and clear communication with the public and workforce.
- Conduct daily checks on traffic management equipment, reporting any defects or issues immediately to the Site Supervisor and maintaining accurate logbook records.
- Communicate effectively via radio with site operatives, crane operators, and banksmen to coordinate complex vehicle movements and avoid congestion or hazardous situations.
- Promote a positive safety culture, challenging unsafe behaviours and participating in daily site safety briefings (toolbox talks).
To be successful in this Bristol-based role, you will need a combination of formal certification, practical experience, and the right personal attributes. We value reliability and a proactive attitude as much as formal qualifications.
- Essential Certification: A valid CSCS Card (any colour, preferably Blue or Gold) and recognised traffic management accreditation (e.g., Chapter 8 / NHSS 12D).
- Proven Experience: Minimum 6-12 months experience as a Traffic Marshal, Banksman, or in a similar site safety role, preferably on UK construction or civil engineering projects.
- Physical & Communication Skills: Ability to work outdoors in all weathers, stand for long periods, and communicate instructions clearly, confidently, and assertively.
- Local Knowledge: Familiarity with Bristol BS8 (Clifton, University area, Harbourside) and its traffic patterns is a significant advantage, as is knowledge of temporary traffic order (TTO) processes.
