Laborer Jobs in Farragut, TN

A Laborer in the construction industry plays a crucial role in all types of construction projects. They perform a variety of physical tasks such as digging trenches, setting up scaffolding, cleaning up construction sites, operating hand and power tools, and assisting skilled craft workers (like carpenters, electricians, and plumbers) with their duties. Not only do they help in the preparation and cleaning of the construction site, but they also aid in loading and unloading materials, equipment, and tools. Because of the physical nature of the job, a Laborer must have strength, endurance, and excellent hand-eye coordination.

The skills required for this role typically include proficiency with construction tools and equipment, the ability to perform heavy manual labor, and a solid understanding of construction methods and safety practices. In terms of qualifications, a high school diploma or equivalent is often required. While not always necessary, a certification such as the OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) safety certification can make a Laborer more attractive to prospective employers. Before becoming a Laborer, one might have roles such as a Construction Helper, Warehouse Worker, or General Laborer to gain experience in performing manual labor tasks and using construction tools and equipment.
