About The Role We are currently seeking a highly motivated and physically fit Yard Worker to join our team for a short-term assignment ranging from 2 weeks to a maximum of 3 months.

- Load and unload materials, move equipment, and prepare work areas.
- Demonstrate a commitment to communicating, improving and adhering to health, safety and environmental policies in all work environments and areas. Promote a culture of safety and exhibit these behaviors.
What We’re Looking For Education: No formal diploma, degree, or prior certification is required.

- Continuous standing, walking, bending, and operating vibrating heavy equipment (like jackhammers) for extended periods.
- Successful candidates must adhere to all safety protocols and proper use of Amrize approved Personal Protection Equipment ("PPE"), including but not limited to respirators. Employees that are required to wear respirators must be clean shaven where the respirator seal meets the face in order to pass the qualitative and quantitative fit tests.

- Company-provided personal protective equipment ensuring your safety and comfort on the job where applicable
