Job Description

As a Carpentry and Masonry Specialist in the Army National Guard, you will develop the skills you need for a rewarding civilian career while building and maintaining physical structures in the Army National Guard.

Through the use of your basic carpentry and masonry skills, your responsibilities will involve general heavy carpentry, structural steel, and masonry duties that include the fabrication, erection, maintenance, and repair of rigging devices, trusses, and other structural assemblies. You will assist in building layout, framing, sheathing, and roofing structures, as well as constructing concrete form work for slabs, walls, and columns.

Plus, you'll be building a better future in the Army National Guard. The skills you learn as a Carpentry and Masonry Specialist could help prepare you for a civilian career in commercial and residential construction. You'll be able to consider a future as a mason, carpenter, cement mason, concrete finisher, drywall installer, or ceiling tile installer.
