Laborer
Danis
## About This Role Since 1916, Danis has been dedicated to being builders with a foundation of integrity, driven by innovation, and dedicated to the vision of our clients. We're committed to hiring the best and brightest in our industry, and we're currently looking for Laborers to join our Columbus region team. As a Laborer, you'll play a key role in keeping the jobsite moving. You'll support skilled trades—including carpenters, cement masons, ironworkers, millwrights, and pipefitters—by handling a wide range of tasks that help projects stay on schedule and built right. This role is for someone who takes pride in quality work, works safely, shows up on time, and brings a strong work ethic every day. ## What You'll Do Your day-to-day responsibilities will include assisting with concrete work, including pouring forms and using proper vibration techniques. You'll load, move, unload, and stage materials for craft workers, perform fine grading using hand tools as needed, and communicate with equipment operators using proper hand signals. A significant part of your work involves erecting and dismantling scaffolding, shoring, and bracing, as well as performing demolition work, stripping forms, sawing lumber, and installing insulation. Keeping the jobsite organized is essential to your success in this role. You'll maintain a clean, organized work area and restock materials regularly. When installation work happens, you'll help lift, position, and secure materials and work pieces. General maintenance and cleaning tasks are part of your daily routine, and you'll complete other related tasks as directed by the Foreman or Superintendent. Beyond the core responsibilities, you'll be expected to support onboarding or training of new team members when needed, follow all company policies, procedures, and safety requirements, and contribute to a team-first, respectful jobsite environment. You'll participate in jobsite meetings when requested and show flexibility to help where needed to keep the project moving. ## Skills & Abilities We're Looking For You should have the ability to follow instructions and adapt to changing tasks, and be comfortable performing hands-on, repetitive work. Familiarity with basic construction tools, materials, and forming systems is important. You need to understand and use proper hand signals for cranes and equipment, and communicate clearly with coworkers and supervisors. Your time management skills should be strong, allowing you to work productively throughout the day. Safety is paramount—you need to work safely and be willing to learn and follow safety standards. Finally, reliable attendance and dependable transportation to report to job sites as scheduled are non-negotiable. ## What We're Looking For A high school diploma or GED is preferred. Prior construction or labor experience is helpful, but not required—we're willing to train the right person who demonstrates a strong work ethic and commitment to learning. ## Working Conditions & Physical Demands This position requires you to work outdoors in all weather conditions. You must be able to climb ladders and scaffolding, balance at heights, and work on uneven surfaces. The job requires standing, walking, stooping, kneeling, crouching, and crawling for extended periods. You'll need to lift and carry up to 50 pounds repeatedly throughout the day. Your vision must be adequate, with or without correction, to perform job duties safely. ## What We Offer Danis offers a competitive salary, merit increases, and bonus opportunities. Our benefits package includes medical, dental and vision insurances, life insurance, short-term disability, long-term disability, 401(k), profit sharing, boot vouchers, and prescription safety glasses. Danis is an Equal Opportunity Employer. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, non-disqualifying physical or mental disability, national origin, veteran status, or any other basis covered by appropriate law. All employment is decided on the basis of qualifications, merit, and business need.
