General Laborer

Job Title: General Laborer

Job Description

This role provides hands-on support in a precast concrete production environment, working as a versatile "floater" who assists across multiple tasks each day. You will help prepare and finish concrete products, operate hand and power tools, and contribute to maintaining a safe, efficient, and highly productive shop.

Responsibilities

• Prepare concrete forms and molds for daily production, ensuring they are assembled correctly and ready for pouring.
• Install reinforcing materials such as rebar, wire, and other supports in accordance with production requirements.
• Pour precast concrete into prepared forms with attention to accuracy, safety, and quality standards.
• Finish concrete surfaces, strip completed products from forms, and move finished items to designated areas.
• Support general shop operations by assisting in various tasks as a "floater," adapting to different duties throughout the day.
• Use hand and power tools safely and effectively as part of daily work activities.
• Maintain a clean, safe, and organized work area by following housekeeping and safety procedures.
• Help ensure production deadlines are met by working efficiently and supporting team members as needed.
• Monitor the quality of products and report any defects or issues to leadership.
• Follow all safety guidelines and operational procedures while working around machinery, overhead cranes, and active production areas.

Essential Skills

• At least 1 year of continuous job tenure demonstrating reliability and commitment.
• Minimum of 1 year of experience in a manufacturing environment.
• At least 1 year of experience using hand and power tools in a hands-on role.
• Comfort working in a physically demanding, dirty, and rough environment where you will use your hands and get dirty.
• Ability to adapt to changing tasks and responsibilities as a daily "floater" in the shop.
• Capability to work 10–12 hour days and stay until work is completed, including occasional Saturdays when needed.
• Strong work ethic, thick skin, and willingness to work in a tough, fast-paced production setting.
• Basic safety awareness when working around machinery, overhead cranes, and active production lines.

Additional Skills & Qualifications

• Previous precast concrete experience is a plus.
• Experience in construction or concrete-related work environments is beneficial.
• Prior experience reading blueprints is preferred.
• Experience in roles that require regular use of hand and power tools rather than traditional warehouse-only experience.
• Comfort working in environments that resemble an indoor construction site.

Why Work Here?

You will join a team-oriented environment that values internal growth and long-term careers. The organization offers holiday pay, a 401(k) and Roth retirement plan with employer match, health and life insurance, and profit sharing. There is clear room for advancement, with a strong focus on promoting from within before hiring externally, giving you the opportunity to build skills and grow your career over time.

Work Environment

This position is based in a precast concrete production facility that operates Monday through Friday with a 6:00 a.m. start time, and occasional Saturdays when needed to meet production demands. Typical shifts run 8–12 hours, and employees often work 10–12 hour days, leaving when the work is completed. The setting looks like a construction site inside a warehouse, with machines throughout the facility and three overhead cranes in operation. There are four large garage doors that remain open for ventilation, but temperatures can become very hot, ranging from around 70 degrees up to 100 degrees. The environment is very dirty and physically demanding, and you should expect to be on your feet and using your hands throughout the day. You will work as part of a close-knit team of approximately 30–60 employees, supported by one supervisor and several leads. The dress code is casual, but you must wear long pants at all times (no shorts) to meet safety expectations.
