Non-Union Laborer

The laborer position is fundamental to a well-run jobsite. The laborer is typically the first craftsman on the job and the last one to leave when the job is done. Without a strong laborer team the entire jobsite can quickly go into disarray. If you ask any superintendent who their most important team member is they will tell you that it’s their laborer.

1.Manage the site:

  • Keep it clean of trash and scrap material
  • Keep the bone yard tidy and organized,
  • Toss any junk and unusable material
  • Keep the site fence secure
  • Clear trash from the fence
  • Keep all signs and banners secured to the fence
  • Keep locks and chains on gates in good working order
  • Keep sanicans secured so they don’t blow over and located to minimize walking distances

2. Manage Tools, Equipment, Storage, Office Trailers:

  • Keep the forklift and gas powered equipment fueled
  • Keep fuel cans filled and properly stored
  • Perform all safety checks and inspections on the equipment daily. If applicable, delegate inspections to the main operator. Keep all inspection sheets in safety binder in the office.

3. Manage the dumpsters:

  • Fill dumpsters and pack down
  • Call for dump and return when full, timing is important because you don’t want to have full dumpsters on big cleanup days or trash will stack up.
  • Clean up around dumpsters.
  • Keep tipplers near carpenter work stations for them to clean up.
  • Keep tipplers near main load out areas of the building so its easy for subs to load into.

4. Manage the building:

  • Keep the building free of our own loose material.
  • Do daily clean up. Quick sweep to removed dirt.

5. Manage the “Plant” (temporary power, lighting, heat and security):

  • Check heaters and fans to make sure they are running (especially at night before you go home for the day), keep material and debris clear, etc. Make sure fuel source for heaters are fueled, secure and everything is connected properly.

6. Monitor Safety:

  • Keep cords out of the path of travel, and protected from damage from vehicles and equipment.
  • Manage temporary railings and toe boards once they are installed. If you see any leading edge conditions that don’t have rails, danger tape off the area and report it to your supervisor.
  • If you see any unsafe acts take action, don’t walk past any safety issue

7. Carpenter Support:

During the period of the project when we are doing self-perform work, the best way for our carpenters to be efficient is to have a good laborer setting them up for success. Carpenters should not be wandering around looking for tools, hardware or material. The most expensive cost on any project is inefficient craft hours. A good laborer will increase the profits of the company by keeping the carpenter crew highly productive and efficient.

  • Look ahead of them and stage needed material.
  • Roll out and put away gang boxes, equipment, materials and fasteners at start and end of each day.
  • As equipment and Material is used and no longer needed on site, arrange for it to be shipped off. Material and equipment not being used on site is taking up space and is open for theft.

8. Concrete pours:

  • Coordinate with the carpenter foreman as to the pour method of walls, footings etc.
  • Perform safety check on all pour access prior to each pour and communicate with the carpenter lead or PF for anything that doesn’t look right that needs correction before you put your placement crew on it.
  • Protect any surfaces that should not get concrete splatter (walls, handrails, stairs, etc).
  • Make sure all concrete tools & equipment are cleaned and in good working order immediately following each pour
