The principal skills of this trade are manual dexterity, mechanical aptitude, problem-solving and sequential thinking; candidates must also be able to tolerate heights. A bricklayer/mason's job is physically demanding and requires considerable effort for tasks such as lifting heavy materials, climbing, bending, kneeling and working on a scaffold.
This work is primarily done outdoors, where masons are exposed to all types of weather. Job-site preparation for winter conditions allows work to continue year-round. Job-site safety and accident prevention are a priority.
