- Handle and transport materials in line with company and DOT requirements.
- Provide informal, on-the-job guidance to newer crew members and model safe work practices.
- Take part in daily safety briefings, track your time accurately, and communicate progress to the Field Foreman. What We Are Looking For
- Prior construction laborer experience, ideally in civil earthwork or underground utilities.
- Comfort operating small equipment and a range of hand and power tools.
- Dependable attendance, punctuality, and consistent follow-through.

- High school diploma or GED required.
- OSHA 10 required.
- Valid state driver's license required; Class A or B CDL preferred.
- First Aid / CPR preferred.
- OQ qualifications as applicable to the project; support provided to complete required modules.
