Some work, such as conducting phone calls and meetings, use of a computer or other technology, written and electronic documentation, and reviewing contracts/blueprints/budgets, may be conducted in a jobsite trailer or temporary office onsite, but these locations will often require employees to be able to navigate tight quarters with limited turnaround space and exterior stairs.

Work is subject to inflexible deadlines and the employee may be subject to work beyond the normal scheduled work hours and in extreme weather conditions.
