Carpenters bring an architect’s blueprints to life by working with wood, vinyl, plastic, and other materials to create the interior and exterior of structures. They can work with construction companies, carpentry contractors, and maintenance departments, or they can be self employed.

Interior systems mechanics install, maintain, and repair materials that are used to construct ceilings and walls for the internal structures of buildings, such as by framing exterior and interior wall partitions, installing window frames, and hanging t-bar and suspended celings.

Roofers generally work at heights installing and maintaining built-up roofs, flat deck roofs, and steep roofs with a variety of covering materials on residential, industrial and commercial buildings.

Scaffolders assemble temporary but structurally sound platforms to support equipment and material and provide access for workers in the construction and maintenance of buildings and facilities. Scaffolders can work in almost all sectors of the construction industry.
