    Neri Building & Development is seeking motivated individuals to join our team as an Entry-Level Construction Laborer / Tradesman Apprentice.

    No extensive construction experience is required. We are willing to train the right person.

    This position is designed for someone who wants to learn the construction industry, develop multiple skilled trades, and build a long-term career. You will work alongside experienced tradesmen and equipment operators while gaining hands-on experience across many different types of construction projects.

    Unlike a traditional laborer position, you will not be assigned to one type of work every day. Our employees move between projects and trades based on the work underway, giving you the opportunity to develop into a well-rounded construction professional.

    Trades You Will Learn

    You will have the opportunity to gain hands-on experience in:

    Concrete – forming, pouring, flatwork, slabs, stamped and decorative concrete

    Excavation & Site Work – site preparation, drainage, grading, trenching, utilities, and foundations

    Heavy Equipment – exposure to excavators, mini excavators, skid steers, loaders, and other equipment

    Carpentry – framing, doors, windows, trim, decks, and general carpentry

    New Home Construction

    Home Additions & Renovations

    Commercial Construction

    Demolition & Site Preparation

    General Construction & Property Improvements

    As your skills and experience grow, you will be given opportunities to take on more advanced work and responsibility.

    Responsibilities

    Assist experienced tradesmen with daily construction activities

    Prepare jobsites, tools, equipment, and materials

    Assist with concrete forming, placement, and finishing

    Assist carpenters with framing and general construction

    Assist excavation and site-work crews

    Load, unload, move, and organize construction materials

    Use hand and power tools safely

    Perform demolition and jobsite preparation

    Learn proper measurements, layouts, grades, and construction methods

    Maintain clean and organized jobsites

    Clean and maintain company tools and equipment

    Follow instructions from foremen, project managers, and experienced tradesmen

    Move between different crews and project types as company needs change

    Follow all company safety procedures

    Qualifications

    Construction experience is helpful but not required.

    More importantly, we are looking for someone who:

    Wants to learn a skilled trade

    Is dependable and shows up to work on time

    Is willing to work hard and learn

    Takes direction and accepts constructive feedback

    Is comfortable working outdoors and performing physical construction work

    Is willing to learn multiple trades rather than performing only one type of work

    Takes pride in doing quality work

    Works well as part of a team

    Understands the importance of jobsite safety

    Has dependable transportation

    Has a valid driver's license

    Wants an opportunity to advance within the construction industry

    This Is More Than a Laborer Position

    Our goal is to develop motivated employees into skilled construction tradesmen and equipment operators.

    You may start by assisting an experienced concrete finisher, carpenter, or equipment operator. As you demonstrate reliability and develop your skills, you will be taught increasingly advanced tasks and given greater responsibility.

    Someone who starts in this position could ultimately develop skills in carpentry, concrete finishing, excavation, equipment operation, site development, and general construction.

    Career Growth

    We believe the best tradesmen are developed through real-world experience.

    Employees who demonstrate strong work ethic, reliability, craftsmanship, and leadership will have opportunities to advance into positions such as:

    Construction Laborer → Tradesman Apprentice → Skilled Tradesman → Equipment Operator / Carpenter / Concrete Finisher → Lead Tradesman / Foreman
