Sometimes construction workers are referred to as “unskilled laborers,” however, to be successful, construction workers must have a variety of skills. First, physical strength and stamina are crucial. Construction tasks require hard physical labor for extended periods of time: operating hand tools and power tools, lifting heavy objects, climbing scaffolds, and digging. These tasks also require manual dexterity, coordination, and excellent vision and depth perception. Beyond physical traits, construction workers need to have building and mechanical knowledge, as well as reading and math background to correctly interpret and act on blueprints and work documents. There are not typically education requirements for general construction laborers, though some employers might want candidates to hold a high school diploma or a GED certificate.
