JOBS
There are many different kinds of construction
jobs. The main groups of construction are the
builders, which do the frame work and actually
build the building being constructed. There is
also the insides part for either wallpaper or
plaster. Also in the inside is the tile. On the
outside is insulation of the roof and then the
plasterers.

Other jobs that are related to Rose Bay are being
able to build docks, bridges, and clearing out
land without hurting the environment. You dont
technically need to go to any kind of school to
learn how to do these things. They only way to
learn is on the job experience. These people
usually only make about 8-9 dollars an hour. But
their hours are from 7 a.m. to 330 p.m.

Plasterers
There is no Special class to take to become a
plasterer. You have to have the experience
before you get onto the job. The only way to
learn about becoming a plasterer, is to become a
laborer. Plasterers usually make between 13-15
dollars an hour. They also work from 7 a.m. to
about 330 p.m. Most of construction workers of
any kind have these hours.

Environmental
The people that work with environmental
construction like I said before do not have to
take any kind of schooling. But they do sort of
have to have some common sense that when they
clear a path they know how to work the machine.
Also to know what they can knock down and what
they cant.
