Construction Laborers assist only after mechanical removal has occurred, performing manual labor tasks to support site preparation and cleanup. These tasks include shoveling, raking, sweeping, and collecting small broken concrete pieces and debris that remain along the perimeter of the work area after heavy equipment has completed removal.
