Work Environment

The work takes place in a covered industrial facility with open doors and a kiln firing bricks throughout the day, which makes the environment hot despite temperature-regulating systems and fans. The setting is loud, fast-paced, and dusty or dirty, and the work itself is repetitive and physically demanding. You will stand in one place for extended periods while bending, twisting, and reaching to handle 20-pound bricks on a conveyor line. The facility produces a wide range of masonry and hardscape products, including bricks, retaining walls, paver patios, and concrete masonry units, and uses production lines, kilns, and material handling equipment such as forklifts and trucks.
