Career - Construction Worker

Construction Workers will unload, carry and stack building materials and place tools and equipment in position and will dig trenches using hand tools or jackhammers to break up rock and concrete, so that footings and services can be laid. They will place and compact filling and quarry materials and help to erect and dismantle scaffolding (subject to certification in some states and territories), ramps, catwalks, barricades and warning lights. They will mix, pour and spread concrete under supervision and use wheelbarrows to remove rubble and rubbish from building sites. They will dismantle small structures and strip materials in preparation for new construction and will operate construction machinery (such as excavators), subject to any licensing and accreditation requirements and will clean surfaces for painters.
