Construction Craft Laborers

JOB DESCRIPTION
Construction craft laborers assist in concrete placement projects, including highway, bridge, commercial and industrial buildings, as well as light commercial construction. They assist with flatwork, curb and gutter, concrete wall and foundation construction. They also tend masons laying block and brick with tasks such as stocking block, mixing mortar, erecting scaffolding and grouting masonry walls. They place water main, storm and sanitary sewer pipes serving homes and businesses. A CCL (pipe-layer) will place the pipe to elevation and alignment while being assisted by a CCL (tail man) that will backfill and compact soil around the pipe. CCLs will also perform (top man) duties above ground, such as hooking up the pipe for an operating engineer and cleaning and lubing the pipe where required. In addition, they conduct asbestos abatement (removal) in accordance with EPA guidelines. CCLs are a key part of any transmission pipeline carrying crude, natural gas or hazardous materials across the state. They prepare the steel pipe surface for protective coating and then apply it as appropriate.
