Fix roof trusses, purlins and brandering for ceilings

Wear your hard hat, boots and harness wherever the foreman says

You'll need

Physically strong enough for a full day of lifting and bending outside
Understands basic site safety like scaffolds and open trenches
Able to follow a foreman's instructions and read basic measurements
Safety boots of your own for the first week, if possible

Say which trade you are strongest in first. "Bricklayer, 6 years, face brick" is better than "general construction".
