In this role, you will perform a wide variety of skilled and semi-skilled tasks essential to the maintenance and repair of critical infrastructure-including buildings, bridges, and equipment.

In this position, you will perform a wide range of skilled trades tasks as part of a specialized bridge maintenance team serving the Maintenance District. Your work will include constructing concrete forms, pouring and finishing concrete, and completing stonemasonry projects. You will measure, cut, and assemble concrete forms; build wooden walls and partitions; and carry out carpentry repairs on doors, windows, and related structures.

You will mix concrete for on-site use or oversee the placement of ready-mixed concrete for structures such as wing and end walls, culverts, inlet boxes, retaining walls, and footers, ensuring that all concrete is properly finished and cured. Your stonemasonry duties will involve cutting, fitting, grouting, and pointing stone structures as needed.
