WHAT IS A CONSTRUCTION CRAFT WORKER?
Construction craft workers primarily work on construction sites, where their tasks include site preparation, cleanup, and working with materials such as concrete, masonry, steel, wood, and pre-cast components. They contribute to a variety of structures, including industrial, commercial, and institutional projects. These workers may be employed by private companies, as well as municipal, provincial, or federal governments. Construction craft workers spend most of their time outdoors, regardless of weather conditions. They may be required to work at heights, over water, or in confined spaces and excavations. Their work settings can range from busy urban areas to remote locations. With experience and additional training, construction craft workers may specialize in different areas of construction.
