Do I need a SKILLcard?

Not everyone needs an Engineering Services SKILLcard. We recognise that there are certain occupations that are non-construction related, and therefore do not require a card to access construction sites. You can see the list of occupations which dont' require SKILLcards below.

However, we understand that there may be instances where individuals in non-construction related occupations may face challenges entering a site due to not holding a card. In such cases, we urge you to refer the site manager to this webpage, where they can find more information about the specific occupations that do not require a SKILLcard for site access. By directing them to this resource, you can help clarify any misunderstandings and ensure a smoother entry process.

Alternatively, if you encounter any difficulties or have concerns about site access, we encourage you to directly contact us via the contact us page. Please provide us with details of your occupation, including the main contractor's name and the site address. This will allow us to better understand your situation and provide the necessary support.

At SKILLcard, we are committed to assisting you in the best way possible.
