Construction Laborer

Perform manual labor tasks at construction sites. Duties include site cleanup, material handling, and assisting with general construction activities. Workers will use hand tools and may assist in operating basic equipment under supervision. The Construction Laborer position performs the physical groundwork of concrete construction — including pouring, spreading, and finishing concrete on slabs, foundations, flatwork, and structural elements. Workers set and strip forms, tie rebar, and ensure proper concrete placement and curing. On the job site, they work under the direct direction of the foreman, maintain a clean and safe work area, and support the crew in meeting production goals and quality standards. Hand Tools Used and Their Purposes: • Concrete Rake – Pulls and spreads fresh concrete evenly across a formed area prior to screeding. • Bull Float – A large, long-handled flat tool pushed across wet concrete immediately after screeding to smooth the surface and bring moisture to the top. • Hand Float / Magnesium Float – Used for detail finishing on edges and smaller surface areas to achieve a smooth, even texture. • Steel Trowel – Applied after floating to create a hard, dense, polished finish on the concrete surface. • Edger – Run along the perimeter of a slab to create a rounded, finished edge that resists chipping. • Groover / Jointing Tool – Cuts control joints into fresh concrete to manage where cracking occurs as the slab cures. • Rubber Mallet – Used to tap and seat
