Physical Demands

This is a physically demanding role on an active construction site. You must be able to:

• Work safely around heavy equipment and construction traffic.
• Frequently lift, carry, and move materials weighing up to 50 pounds alone, and use team-lifting techniques for anything heavier.
• Stand or walk for long periods, along with the ability to bend, climb, kneel, and reach.
• Maintain good balance and dexterity for working safely at various heights and in tight spaces.
• Possess visual acuity to operate equipment and spot hazards.
• Hear with or without assistance to understand instructions in noisy environments.

Work Environment

You’ll regularly work outdoors and may be exposed to the elements—heat, cold, rain, snow, or wind. The work environment frequently involves:

• Exposure to moving mechanical equipment and high noise levels.
• Dust, fumes, airborne particles, vibrations, and potential electrical hazards.

You will be required to consistently wear all necessary Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and strictly follow Clark Construction's safety policies and procedures, and all applicable laws, at all locations.

This is a demanding, high-performance environment. We are looking for candidates who:

• Are energized by challenge and thrive under pressure.
