* Read and interpret plans, codes, diagrams, architectural blueprints, and specifications.

* Perform restoration work on historic buildings and structures to maintain the original appearance of the building.

* Coordinate and assist in the movement of heavy job materials into remote trail areas using equipment or, if needed, by hand. This will at times involve lifting over 80 pounds.

* Conduct repairs on stone walls, stairways, stone paths, and stone bridges, often in remote locations of the park interior.

* Lay building materials such as stone, brick, concrete, and cinder blocks to construct or repair walls, partitions, utility manholes, and firebrick linings in furnaces and chimneys.

* Lay out concrete flat work, including but not limited to sidewalks, patios, park structures, pillars, pavilion pads, and floors.

* Mix or direct the mixing of concrete, spreading concrete to specified depth and workable consistency.

* Properly mix and apply mortars.

* Apply coats of plaster to walls and ceilings, including the preparation of surface, mixing of plaster, application of plaster and erection of scaffolding if needed.

* Operate vehicles and equipment such as Utility Task Vehicles (UTVs), mowers, snowmobiles, trucks, passenger vehicles, tractors, back-hoes and handheld power tools.

* Train, monitor, and supervise permanent and seasonal staff performing routine masonry activities, and ensure tasks are completed according to safety policies, building codes, and procedures.

* Assist with other projects at the facility when masonry work cannot be completed due to poor weather conditions or to support operational needs.

Although the work of the position is periodically inspected by the Park Manager, the incumbent is expected to work with considerable independence as is typical of a craftsperson.
