Building Trade Careers
Roofers
Some of the common duties and responsibilities of roofers include the installation of shingles, tiles, and a variety of other materials to make roofs waterproof, as well as repairing and maintaining roofs to ensure they are properly aligned and secure. Roofers also calculate labor and material costs, providing estimates for the clients.
Masons
The main responsibility of a mason is building walls, fences, fireplaces, floors, chimneys, roads, and walkways using bricks, stones, and blocks. They also assist in building layout, framing, sheathing, and roofing structures, use equipment and tools to perform basic construction tasks in a safe way, and cut openings into walls, ceilings, and floors. You need to have strong manual dexterity to morph materials into various shapes in most instances.
Carpenter
The main duties of a carpenter include building and repairing structures and frameworks, interpreting blueprints, as well as measuring, cutting, and shaping wood. Carpenters also repair and renovate any additional woodwork.
Drywaller
Drywall installers, also known as drywallers, specialize in the installation and finishing of drywall panels during construction. These can be for both commercial and residential buildings. The main duties of drywallers are measuring, cutting, and hanging panels of wallboard.
Window Installer
A window installer does just what it describes: installs windows. They also install things like doors and glazed curtain walls. They could work these within new-construction properties, upgrading old windows, or even restoring historic ones.
