Bricklayer

You set the wall out from the marked line, lay block and brick to the level and the plumb line, cut openings for doors and windows and leave the chases the other trades need. You mix mortar to the stated ratio or take it from the silo, keep the joint thickness even and clean the face as you go. Scaffold is raised with the crew and checked before each lift. Work is Monday to Friday, 07:00-15:30, with a paid half hour break, and you report to the crew foreman.
