What the companies can expect in a Construction Laborer or Helper from Palm Beach Technical Contract Manpower Supplies
Construction laborers, also referred to as construction craft
laborers, perform a wide variety of
construction-related activities during all phases of construction. Many
laborers spend their time preparing and
cleaning up construction sites, using tools such as shovels and brooms.
Other workers, such as those on road crews,
may specialize and learn to control traffic patterns and operate pavement
breakers, jackhammers, earth tampers, or
surveying equipment.
Helpers assist construction craft workers, such as electricians and
carpenters, with a variety of tasks. They
may carry tools and materials or help set up equipment. For example, many
helpers work with cement masons to move
and set the forms that determine the shape of poured concrete. Many other
helpers assist with taking apart
equipment, cleaning up sites, and disposing of waste, as well as helping
with any other needs of craft workers.
These are some common expectations which a skilled Construction Laborer or
Helper should meet on daily basis:
- Clean and prepare construction sites by removing debris and possible hazards
- Load or unload building materials to be used in construction
- Build or take apart bracing, scaffolding, and temporary structures
- Dig trenches, backfill holes, or compact earth to prepare for construction
- Operate or tend equipment and machines used in construction
- Follow construction plans and instructions from supervisors or more experienced workers
- Assist craft workers with their duties
