What type of work will I do?

You might be doing work such as building or repairing roads, highways, bridges, and tunnels. Construct residential and commercial buildings, clean up hazardous waste sites or perform other kinds of work. Some tasks you will learn are drilling and blasting site areas, building scaffolds, preparing, and cleaning up a job site. Laying pipe underground placing concrete, flagging, and controlling traffic on highways, and removing asbestos and lead from buildings.
