Program Description
Bricklaying is a trade that appeals to individuals who like building and seeing projects take shape. If you like working with your hands with precision tools, and have an eye for line, colour and proportion, then you could be a bricklayer and fill the need for this skilled trade in the growing construction industry in New Brunswick!
As a bricklayer, you get to see progress every day. To succeed, you need to be physically fit, enjoy working hard for the satisfaction of a completed project, and you should also like working outdoors, because that is where most projects begin.
Working in the residential or commercial construction industry, you could be: laying bricks, stone or similar materials, or building residential/commercial chimneys and fireplaces, patios, walls or walkways; laying firebricks to line industrial chimneys and smokestacks; cutting and trimming bricks using hand and power tools; lining or relining furnaces and boilers using acid-resistant bricks; restoring, cleaning or painting existing brick structures; reading and interpreting sketches and blueprints, and much more.
It sure takes building blocks to a new level! Sound appealing? Consider a career in bricklaying at NBCC Woodstock Campus.
