Job Description: Perform tasks involving physical labor at construction sites. May operate hand and power tools of all types: air hammers, earth tampers, cement mixers, small mechanical hoists, surveying and measuring equipment, and a variety of other equipment and instruments. May clean and prepare sites, dig trenches, set braces to support the sides of excavations, erect scaffolding, and clean up rubble, debris and other waste materials. May assist other craft workers.
Construction Laborers spend a lot of their time Performing General Physical Activities. They are naturally good at Static Strength, Trunk Strength, Oral Comprehension, and Manual Dexterity. Construction Laborers are typically characterized as being Realistic and Conventional. They are usually very knowledgable about Building and Construction, Mechanical, and Mathematics and are skilled at Coordination and Operation and Control.
