Neri Building & Development is seeking motivated individuals to join our team as an Entry-Level Construction Laborer / Tradesman Apprentice.

No extensive construction experience is required. We are willing to train the right person.

This position is designed for someone who wants to learn the construction industry, develop multiple skilled trades, and build a long-term career. You will work alongside experienced tradesmen and equipment operators while gaining hands‑on experience across many different types of construction projects.

Unlike a traditional laborer position, you will not be assigned to one type of work every day. Our employees move between projects and trades based on the work underway, giving you the opportunity to develop into a well‑rounded construction professional.

Trades You Will Learn

You will have the opportunity to gain hands‑on experience in:

• Concrete – forming, pouring, flatwork, slabs, stamped and decorative concrete
• Excavation & Site Work – site preparation, drainage, grading, trenching, utilities, and foundations
• Heavy Equipment – exposure to excavators, mini excavators, skid steers, loaders, and other equipment
• Carpentry – framing, doors, windows, trim, decks, and general carpentry
• New Home Construction
• Home Additions & Renovations
• Commercial Construction
• Demolition & Site Preparation
• General Construction & Property Improvements

As your skills and experience grow, you will be given opportunities to take on more advanced work and responsibility.

Responsibilities

• Follow instructions from foremen, project managers, and experienced tradesmen
• Move between different crews and project types as company needs change
• Follow all company safety procedures

More importantly, we are looking for someone who:

• Wants to learn a skilled trade
• Is dependable and shows up to work on time
• Is willing to work hard and learn
• Takes direction and accepts constructive feedback
• Is comfortable working outdoors and performing physical construction work
• Is willing to learn multiple trades rather than performing only one type of work
• Takes pride in doing quality work
• Works well as part of a team
• Understands the importance of jobsite safety
• Has dependable transportation
• Has a valid driver's license
• Wants an opportunity to advance within the construction industry

This Is More Than a Laborer Position

Our goal is to develop motivated employees into skilled construction tradesmen and equipment operators.

You may start by assisting an experienced concrete finisher, carpenter, or equipment operator. As you demonstrate reliability and develop your skills, you will be taught increasingly advanced tasks and given greater responsibility.

Someone who starts in this position could ultimately develop skills in carpentry, concrete finishing, excavation, equipment operation, site development, and general construction.

Career Growth

We believe the best tradesmen are developed through real‑world experience.

Employees who demonstrate strong work ethic, reliability, craftsmanship, and leadership will have opportunities to advance into positions such as:

Construction Laborer -> Tradesman Apprentice -> Skilled Tradesman -> Equipment Operator / Carpenter / Concrete Finisher -> Lead Tradesman / Foreman
