• • Signal equipment operators and assist heavy equipment movement and alignment on site

What We're Looking For

• • Proven experience constructing concrete formwork and working on heavy civil projects
• • Comfortable working at heights and near or over water; not afraid of confined/rigid environments
• • Able to operate common carpentry and concrete tools safely (saws, drills, levels, tape measures, tampers)
• • Physically able to lift/move heavy materials (frequent lifts over 50–80+ lbs) and work long hours outdoors
• • Willing to work nights, weekends and occasional overnight travel as required
• • Reliable transportation to job sites and regular, predictable attendance

Qualifications

• • Minimum 21 years old
• • High school diploma or GED preferred

What We Offer
