Bricklayer
Using properly-selected mortars and precisely-cut stone, bricks, concrete blocks or other materials, bricklayers build interior and exterior walls and paths and apply brick to chimneys and smokestacks. They are also responsible for preparing surfaces to be covered, such as caulking and cleaning, and placing damp proofing and masonry flashing.
Bricklayers are employed by construction companies.
