Construction Workers complete various construction and building projects as employees of construction companies. They work as part of a larger team of other Construction Workers and specialty subcontractors, such as Electricians and Plumbers. Sometimes, they also collaborate with Architects, Engineers and General Contractors. Construction Workers follow building plans and instructions to build structures. They might dig holes and trenches to prepare a building’s foundation, plant explosives to break apart concrete structures, clear away debris and other hazards and set up barriers around the construction site. The job might also involve climbing ladders or scaffolding, using heavy equipment and using tools to perform assigned work tasks.
