The work is physically demanding, involving bending, kneeling, reaching, and lifting materials up to 25 pounds (occasionally up to 50 pounds). Effective communication and visual acuity for reading plans and inspecting work are essential.

You’ll spend significant time on active construction sites, exposed to varying weather, moderate to loud noise, elevated or confined spaces, and moving mechanical equipment. Office time includes prolonged sitting for computer work, document review, and meetings.

Safety is a top priority; you must follow Clark Construction's safety policies and all applicable laws at all locations.

You must thrive under pressure, manage extended hours during critical project phases or client deadlines, and be available for time-sensitive matters or emergencies. Monitoring and responding to communications (phone, email, text) outside regular hours is expected.
