Construction Laborer

Laborer  — MCL Construction | Omaha, NE

We’re looking for a Laborer who is reliable, hardworking, and safety-minded — from those just starting out in construction to those that have some experience already we’re looking for those that take pride in a job done right and shows up ready to work, every day, on every task.

The title is Laborer. The real job is the backbone of every MCL job site — the person crews count on to keep materials moving, tools ready, and the work area safe.

Your Day-to-Day

General Labor & Site Work

• Perform general manual labor including sweeping, hauling, dumping, loading, unloading, lifting, and moving materials

• Support site upkeep with tasks such as weed whacking, mowing, and dewatering

• Use small tools and equipment — hammer, flat pry bar, tape measure, 5-in-1 painter’s tool, Phillips and flathead screwdrivers, tin snips, pliers, and vice grips

• Assist with a wide range of construction-related tasks as directed by your supervisor

• Follow all MCL Construction safety policies and wear required personal protective equipment (PPE) at all times

Team & Project Support

• Assist carpenters and other craft workers as needed

• Communicate clearly with team members and supervisors to keep work safe and efficient

• Demonstrate professionalism, teamwork, and a willingness to help wherever needed

• Take a leading role guiding the tasks of other laborers when directed, as experience grows

The Right Fit

You’re a strong fit if you:

• Bring construction experience — or a strong willingness to learn; both entry-level and experienced laborers are encouraged to apply

• Have a working knowledge of common construction tools, concepts, and procedures (or are eager to build it)

• Can follow directions and pre-established guidelines, and also work independently when needed

• Are able to lift 50–60 lbs frequently and up to 70 lbs occasionally, and are comfortable standing, stooping, kneeling, climbing, and crouching throughout the day

• Have reliable transportation and are willing to travel between job sites

• Hold a high school diploma or equivalent (preferred, not required)

• Show reliability and punctuality — ready to work every day

• Are comfortable working outdoors in varying conditions (dirt, dust, mud, heat, cold, rain) and around power tools, heavy equipment, and uneven or elevated work surfaces

Our Values

We hire for character as much as credentials. These four traits define the people who succeed at MCL:

Passionate — you care deeply about the work, the craft, and the people around you. This is more than a job to you.

Dedicated — you show up fully every day. When things get hard—and they will—you stay engaged.

Thorough — details matter. You don’t hand something off or close it out until it’s done right.

Respectful — you treat the owner, the sub, the laborer, and everyone in between with respect. It’s not situational here—it’s the standard.
