If you can't or don't want to work 100+ feet up, this is not the right role. Construction or masonry experience preferred (bricklaying, repointing, concrete) Skilled with hand tools (trowel, hammer, chisel, jointer) and comfortable with power tools (grinder, saw, drill); experience with mortar mixers a plus Strong physical stamina — climbing ladders multiple times a day, hauling materials by rope, performing skilled work at height for full shifts in variable weather Reliable, on time, and a team player — small crews mean every person matters OSHA-10 required (we'll sign you up if you don't have it). OSHA-30, fall-protection certifications, and lift training are a plus. Valid driver's license; clean driving record preferred Authorized to work in the United States What we offer Steady year-round work on a variety of historic and industrial restoration projects across MA and New England Training in steeplejack and high-elevation masonry techniques you can't learn on a typical jobsite Competitive pay based on experience, plus per diem on overnight jobs OSHA-10 certification covered by the company A small, tight crew where your craftsmanship and reliability are noticed Yankee Steeplejack Company has been working on the high places of New England's churches, mills, and industrial buildings for decades.
