WHAT IS A BRICKLAYER?

Bricklayers work in varied aspects of building, industrial, commercial, and residential construction. They build walls, partitions, chimneys and other structural forms from brick, block or other masonry material. They work with mortar using a trowel. They also use chisels, joiners, block hammers and powered saws.

Much of bricklayers's work is done outdoors and generally depends upon suitable weather conditions. It is a very strenuous trade with much stooping and lifting required. A bricklayer needs to be able to work in a variety of duties requiring close tolerance and must be able to work well in heights.
