  • Use construction estimating skills to gauge material needs and assist with project planning.
  • Perform general site cleanup and ensure all work areas comply with safety standards and regulations.

Experience

  • Prior experience working on construction sites or in demolition roles is highly preferred.
  • Familiarity with blueprint reading, schematics, and technical drawings enhances your ability to perform tasks accurately.
  • Hands-on experience with hand tools, power tools, heavy equipment operation, and safety procedures is essential.
  • Knowledge of construction management practices helps coordinate tasks effectively within team environments.
  • Skills in related trades such as plumbing, electrical work, concrete finishing, masonry, or carpentry are advantageous.
  • Ability to identify hazards on-site through construction inspection techniques ensures safety for all team members.
  • Strong physical stamina and the ability to lift heavy materials or operate machinery for extended periods are required. Join us in creating safer, more efficient construction sites! We're dedicated to fostering a supportive environment where hardworking individuals can develop their skills across diverse aspects of demolition and construction work-all while being paid for their valuable contributions.
