The following list of general and specialty tasks represent skills required by a Construction Craft Laborer (CCL) in a high performance industry. The skills required of a CCL are diverse and many. They work on buildings, highways and heavy construction sites; tunnel and shaft excavations; demolition and environmental remediation sites. CCLs may be removing asbestos or lead-based paint from buildings. CCLs also erect and disassemble scaffolding, they load and unload building materials, tend numerous machines and work with other trades including carpenters, plasters, operating engineers and masons. CCLs also clear and prepare highway work zones, install traffic barricades, markers, and control traffic. They install sewer, water and storm drain pipes and place concrete and asphalt on roads. Other highly specialized tasks include operating laser equipment to place pipes, operating air, electric and pneumatic tools. CCLs also operate a variety of equipment including pavement breakers jackhammers, earth tampers, concrete, mortar and plaster mixers, electric and hydraulic boring machines, torches, small mechanical hoists, laser beam equipment, and surveying and measuring equipment. In general, the skills represent competencies in managing and understanding resources, information, technology, systems, and interpersonal relations.
The following general skills should be mastered by all Construction Craft Laborers.
