The Physical Side of the Role

• This is an active, hands‑on role.
• You can expect to be on your feet frequently, navigating active job sites with uneven terrain, stairs, ladders, and hoists.
• The work is physically demanding and requires a full range of motion, including bending, kneeling, and reaching.
• You’ll need to be comfortable frequently lifting and carrying materials up to 25 pounds, and occasionally up to 50 pounds.
• This role requires the ability to communicate effectively, as well as visual acuity for reading plans and inspecting work.
• The role does include desk time in the office that may require prolonged periods of sitting for tasks like computer work, document review, and meetings.

Your Work Environment

• You’ll spend a significant amount of your time on active construction sites, which means being adaptable to all kinds of weather and moderate to loud noise levels, and comfortable in elevated or confined work areas with moving mechanical equipment and with the fast‑paced nature of a project in progress.
• You will also spend time in a typical office setting with moderate noise levels.
• Your safety is our top priority, and you'll be expected to follow Clark Construction's safety policies and procedures, and all applicable laws, at all locations.
