Construction Labourer — The Backbone of Every Site

Nothing gets built without you. Your speed, your stamina, your site awareness — that's expertise worth recording.

Construction labourers are on the European Commission's official list of critical shortage professions. Your skills are in high demand. Record them. Get paid.

The Observer Programme pays construction site workers to record their shifts using lightweight smart glasses. You do your normal work — and earn extra on top.

How it works

• Wear smart glasses (lighter than safety glasses, compatible with hard hats) during your shift
• Record sessions from 30 minutes up
• Spend a few minutes after each session confirming what tasks you did in the app
• Get paid per recorded minute
• All recordings are anonymised — no faces, no voices, no identifying details

What you'll earn

You're paid per minute of accepted footage — on top of your regular income.

€15–€18 per recorded hour

€60–€72 per recording day (based on ~4 hours)

€900–€1,100 per month (based on 20 recording days)

First Observers in your role or region earn a launch bonus. Extra earnings possible through referral bonuses.

What we're looking for

• 1+ years of experience on construction sites
• Currently working — employed, agency, or temp
• Hands-on physical work: groundworks, material handling, site preparation, general construction tasks
• Smartphone (iOS or Android)

All site roles welcome: general site labourer, groundworks labourer, demolition labourer, material handler, hod carrier.

We provide everything

• Smart glasses — shipped to you, pre-configured
• Full onboarding (~30 minutes)
