5 Construction Roles you'll find on site Trades + labourers Tradies are your licensed specialists: sparky plumber chippy concreter Labour are the general hands keeping the site moving. Between them, they're doing most of the physical work on site. Plant operators They run the heavy gear: excavators bulldozers forklifts cranes Licensed for each machine. If dirt's moving or something heavy's being lifted by a machine, it's them. Doggers + riggers Doggers attach the load and direct the crane. Riggers do that plus erect and dismantle temporary structures. Both need their own ticket. They're the reason crane lifts don't go wrong. Scaffolder Scaffolders build the temporary platforms so tradies can work at height safely. Licensed role with different levels. Supervisor / leading hand The boss on the ground.
