A Day in the Life of a Skilled Tradesman

• Perform physical labor on restoration, construction, and demolition sites, including loading materials and preparing safe work areas
• Utilize basic construction skills such as painting, drywall installation/patching, texturing, and interior finish work
• Follow all Environmental, Health, and Safety protocols while working in potentially hazardous environments or disaster sites
