Physical Demands This role requires significant physical exertion, including the ability to navigate active construction areas with uneven terrain, temporary and permanent stairs, ladders, scaffolding, and personnel hoists. Constant standing, walking, and performing repetitive physical tasks are required daily. The employee must frequently lift, carry, push, and pull materials and equipment weighing up to 50 pounds and occasionally lift and/or move objects weighing over 50 pounds with assistance or team lifting techniques. This position requires frequent bending, stooping, kneeling, crouching, climbing, and reaching (above and below shoulder level). The employee must possess sufficient physical dexterity and balance to work safely at various heights and in confined spaces. Visual acuity (including close, distance, peripheral, and depth perception, and the ability to adjust focus) is essential for tasks such as reading instructions, operating equipment, and ensuring safety. Adequate hearing (with or without assistive devices) is required to understand instructions and warnings in a noisy environment. Work Environment The work environment characteristics include: working outdoors, exposure to varying weather conditions (heat, cold, wind, rain, and snow), moving mechanical equipment, high noise levels, dust, fumes, airborne particles, vibrations, and potential electrical hazards. Work regularly occurs at heights and in confined spaces, requiring safe operation around heavy equipment and construction traffic. Noise is typically loud, requiring consistent use of appropriate PPE, including hearing protection, and adherence to all Clark Construction’s comprehensive safety policies and all applicable federal, state, and local laws. Due to project deadlines and client requirements, the role frequently requires working more than 40 hours per week. #J-18808-Ljbffr
