Gateman Recruitment Across the UK
Hard Hat is a specialist construction recruitment agency supplying gatemans to construction sites across London, the M25 and the wider UK. We work exclusively in construction — no white-collar generalism, no admin temps — so when you register with us you go on the books of recruiters who actually understand the trade.
Gatemen are responsible for controlling access to construction sites, checking credentials, logging visitors, managing deliveries, and maintaining site security. Hard Hat supplies experienced, CSCS-carded gatemen who understand the importance of maintaining strict access controls on busy construction sites. Our gatemen are reliable, professional, and experienced in working with Tier 1 contractors who require high standards of site access management. We supply gatemen for residential developments, commercial projects, and infrastructure schemes across London and the South East.
Whether you are looking for your next gateman job, want a contractor to swap into a better-paying site, or you are a main contractor needing reliable gateman supply, we mobilise quickly. Most gatemans we register are working within 48 hours. We supply to Tier 1 and Tier 2 contractors on residential, commercial, fit-out, civils and infrastructure projects.
