In the Belarusian labor market this fall, bricklayers are in particular demand among employers.
The State Employment Service database alone contains over 1,200 vacancies with offers for these specialists.
Some employers are very generous: they are ready to provide workers with salaries of up to 5,500 rubles.
But there is also a minimum possible salary of 626 rubles, while salaries in the range of 1,000 to 1,500 rubles dominate.
We will discuss the payment of a bricklayer's work in detail below, but for now we will briefly recall what exactly he does, the conditions under which he works, and the features of the profession as a whole.
Features and conditions
A mason is a worker who lays foundations, cladding, waterproofing, laying walls, etc.
Upon request, a professional will make door and window openings for an organization or individual, fill the seams of joined reinforced concrete structures, and perform a number of other works.
But whatever he does, the specifics are such that almost all the work is very difficult, and excessive loads provoke increased fatigue.
In addition, there is little joy in the fact that under certain working conditions the risk of injury increases, and sometimes there is a danger to life.
Requirements
In this regard, special requirements are placed on the specialist: in addition to professional skills and abilities, the employer wants to see a resilient person.
Also, many employers pay special attention to health, that is, they want the bricklayer to have no problems with it (various diseases, for example).
Another specific condition we note is that the employee works both indoors and outdoors.
In the latter case, it is often necessary to operate in unfavorable weather conditions: rain or snow, heat or cold, strong wind, etc.
And often a mason works at height, which entails additional risks for him.
Salaries
Above we have outlined in a few words the situation on this issue in the country. But, let us repeat, the salaries considered here are presented in the State Employment Service .
So, who intends to pay the mason the "minimum"? For example, the organization "ZUBRmontazhStroy" (Osipovichi).
A similar salary is indicated in the vacancy for mobile mechanized column No. 201 – branch of Minskoblselstroy (work in Lyuban).
Most often, as noted, employers call workers for salaries from 1,000 to 1,500 rubles.
Thus, mobile mechanized column No. 7 of the Pinsksovkhozstroy organization promises a bricklayer from 1,000 to 1,300 rubles. The job is in Luninets.
The organization "Gronitex" is ready to pay monthly from 1,220 to 1,260 rubles.
The enterprise "Mogilevoblvodokanal" invites to work in Mogilev. The specialist is promised 1,500 rubles.
The highest salary today is between 5,000 and 5,500 rubles.
This is how much the Tossat company has prepared for the masons whom it will employ for work in Gomel, Grodno, Mogilev and Gorodok (Vitebsk region).
For reference
A mason is a construction worker, a specialist involved in the construction or repair of stone structures.
