What Does a Traffic Marshal Do?

A traffic marshal directs vehicles on and off construction sites, guides reversing lorries and plant, manages delivery scheduling, and ensures pedestrians and workers stay safe around moving vehicles. You're the eyes and ears of the site entrance - the driver can't see what you can.

Key responsibilities include:

• Directing site traffic and managing vehicle movements
• Guiding reversing vehicles and plant using hand signals and radio
• Controlling access for delivery drivers and visitors
• Keeping pedestrian routes clear and safe
• Liaising with site management on delivery scheduling

Traffic Marshal Pay Rates 2026

• Traffic Marshal (CSCS green card): £14-17/hour
• Experienced Traffic Marshal (CSCS blue card): £17-20/hour
• Traffic Marshal/Banksman with NPORS: £18-22/hour
• Lead Traffic Marshal: £20-25/hour

London and South East rates run 15-20% higher than the rest of the UK. Long-term contracts often pay more per hour than day-rate work.

What Tickets Do You Need?

To work as a traffic marshal on UK construction sites, you need:

• CSCS card - green labourer card minimum, blue skilled worker preferred. Apply at cscs.uk.com
• NPORS Traffic Marshal ticket - widely accepted, shows you've had formal training
• NRSWA ticket - needed for highway works (Signing, Lighting and Guarding)
• Asbestos awareness certificate - required on most sites per HSE guidance at hse.gov.uk/asbestos
• First aid ticket - desirable, adds £1-2/hour to your rate

The Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 place legal duties on site controllers to manage vehicle safety. Traffic marshals are a key control measure. See the full legislation at legislation.gov.uk.

Traffic Marshal Training

Getting your traffic marshal ticket is straightforward:

1. Pass the CITB Health, Safety and Environment test (£22)
2. Complete a 1-day NPORS Traffic Marshal course (£100-150)
3. Apply for your CSCS card (£36 at cscs.uk.com)
4. Total cost: under £200 - most agencies will help you through the process

Some employers offer on-site assessment for NPORS accreditation, meaning you can earn while you qualify. Ask the agency when you call.

Types of Traffic Marshal Work

• Construction sites: the most common - guiding delivery lorries, concrete pumps, and site traffic
• Highway works: managing traffic around roadworks, needs NRSWA ticket
• Demolition sites: controlling plant movements (excavators, lorries, crushers)
• Events and venues: parking and crowd control - different skill set, similar role
