Part Time Roofing Jobs in Nebraska (NOW HIRING)

Sailors in the Navy’s Construction Battalion are makers. They’re driven to work with their hands, and they know the value of doing a job right the first time. They’re tougher than any task and they’re not afraid to get a little dirty. If this sounds like you, then you just might be a builder. As part of the Construction Battalion, better known as the Seabees, you’ll be part of a team that crafts the Navy’s infrastructure from the ground up and paves the way—literally—to victory.

RESPONSIBILITIES

Builders make up the largest portion of the Seabees. They construct and repair Navy and Marine Corps facilities wherever needed. As a member of this team, you’ll gain training for work in a range of trades, such as carpentry, plaster, roofing, concrete, masonry, brickwork, painting, cabinetry and more. Specifically, builders may be called upon to:

• Assist engineers with construction plans
• Interpret blueprints and prepare sketches for projects
• Build and repair wood, concrete and steel structures on land and waterfronts, including wharves and bridges
• Install finish work including drywall, paneling, tilework, millwork and trim
• Mix, place and finish concrete and operate concrete equipment
• Make estimates for project materials, equipment and labor
• Operate repair shops for Builder tools and equipment
• Execute disaster preparedness and recovery operations
• Support combat operations

WORK ENVIRONMENT

• As a builder, you’ll construct and repair a variety of structures in just about every environment imaginable. You may work at Navy bases or ports of call around the globe, and you may be deployed to help develop or rebuild areas affected by natural disasters or support combat operations. Seabees primarily serve at shore-based commands—you will likely not spend time at sea.
