Fire Watch​/General Laborer

About the Role

We're looking for a dependable Fire Watch to support hot work on industrial and construction job sites. No prior experience required — we train on site. If you show up on time, pay attention, and take safety seriously, we'll teach you the rest.

• Monitor welding, cutting, and grinding operations for sparks, slag, and smoldering material
• Set, move, and reposition welding blankets, fire blankets, and arc flash screens/shields to protect materials, equipment, and nearby personnel
• Inspect the work area before hot work begins; verify combustibles are removed or protected
• Stay at the post for the full duration of hot work and remain a minimum of 30 minutes after work stops (longer when the site or customer requires it)
• Keep a charged fire extinguisher within reach and know how to use it
• Sound the alarm and notify the foreman immediately if a fire starts or conditions become unsafe
• Complete hot work permits and fire watch logs as required by the site

• Housekeeping: sweeping, debris removal, keeping walkways and work areas clear
• Move and manage extension cords, welding leads, hoses, and air lines
• Stock and deliver welding rod, gas bottles, and other consumables to welders and ironworkers
• Help crews handle and stage materials, tools, and equipment
• Load and unload trucks; assist with site setup and cleanup

• Reliable transportation and a valid driver's license

• Comfortable working at heights, outdoors, and in loud industrial environments
• Able to stand or walk for long stretches, climb ladders and stairs, and lift up to 50 lbs
• OSHA 10 a plus — not required, we can get you certified

• Roughly 40 hours a week, with overtime, extended days, and occasional weekends depending on the project
• Shutdowns and outages may involve night shifts or longer hours
• $15–17/hour based on experience and reliability
• Travel pay / per diem for overnight work
