On-Site Duties

Site clean-up includes coming in behind different subcontractors to clean up their messes and prepping the area for the next subcontractor.

Get the property ready for the painters, cabinetry workers or whichever subcontractor is coming in next. Cleaning up on site includes properly disposing of any debris and trash.

Often, the clean-up worker will do a walk-through with the contractor to get an idea of exactly what the contractor expects and to receive any special clean-up instructions.

Post-Construction Cleaning

Part of site clean-up may include cleaning the actual home, office or structure the contractors built so that it is ready for the new occupants to move into.

Clean-up workers wipe down ceiling fixtures, fans, lights, mechanical registers, walls, cabinets, windows, sills, mirrors, baseboards, counters, appliances and other fixtures.

They also sweep and mop floors and outdoor sidewalks and patio spaces. The clean-up worker must take care to only use products suited for the type of material he is cleaning.

Requirements

Clean-up workers must follow the building codes for that county, city or other local jurisdiction. A construction site clean-up worker must be physically fit and able to be on his feet all day long, lift heavy cleaning equipment and perform other manual labor.

Oftentimes, construction site clean-up workers who work for a company wear a company uniform. Workers at active construction sites must also wear hard hats, construction vests and protective eye gear.
