Mechanical Trades
01 Mar Mechanical Trades
Bancroft Contracting’s Mechanical Trades are performed on industrial and commercial construction sites. The positions require heavy physical work under all environmental conditions. Good physical conditioning is important to success in the positions. Regardless of prior formal training or experience, an employee must demonstrate on the job, the ability to carry out or to quickly learn and competently execute, all essential functions of their position. These positions require travel within New England — either a valid driver’s license and reliable vehicle, or a practical alternative plan for getting to the jobsite, is a requirement of the job.
