Working Conditions

Work is normally performed outside where exposure to conditions of extreme heat/cold, fumes and gases is common. Noise level is moderate to loud and includes sounds of construction, equipment operations, and trucks and like equipment. Position requires use of hands and fingers to hold or feel, reach with hands and arms, walk, talk, smell and hear. Frequently required to stand, sit, climb, balance, stoop, crouch and crawl. Involves lifting and/or moving up to 50 pounds and occasionally up to 100 pounds. Job hazards include working in normal light and heavy construction activities and working around pressurized gas, liquids, electricity, and waste lines and under all weather conditions. Overtime is a requirement of the job.

Work normally requires finger dexterity and eye-hand coordination to operate computer keyboard at moderate skill level. Work may require frequent pushing, pulling, or carrying 50 to 75 pound objects such as tools, equipment work operations. Overtime is a requirement of the job. Work involves standing and walking most of the time, but may involve limited sitting and driving for periods.
