Work Environment

The work takes place on an open farmland civil construction site in Monrovia, Indiana, fully exposed to the region’s weather conditions. Summers are typically hot and humid with a high likelihood of pop-up thunderstorms, while winters can bring cold rain, freezing rain, snow, wind, and periods of extreme cold. The environment is busy and dynamic, with significant activity from heavy equipment such as excavators, mini excavators, skid steers, and trenching machinery. The site follows rigorous safety protocols in line with OSHA standards, and distracted operation of equipment or inattentiveness to surroundings is not tolerated. Work hours generally consist of 10-hour days Monday through Friday and 8-hour days on Saturday, resulting in a 58+ hour work week when weather allows, and shift assignments may include first or second shift depending on project needs.
