Where does a public works laborer work?

A public works laborer most often works outdoors, regardless of the weather. However, since this is a general title for many different specialties, the exact location and responsibilities may vary by department or even time of year. In the winter, you may be responsible for snow removal or road salting. Year round, you may repair and maintain sewers, traffic lights, and street signs, clean up downed trees and brush, or fix medians, concrete, and roads. You can also work in parks planting trees, trimming bushes and plants near public sidewalks, emptying trash cans, and raking leaves. Any outdoor public property that requires maintenance and repairs may be your responsibility.
