Back when I needed a job I showed up on a construction site, asked politely, and they put me right straight into operating a crane. Just get out there, pound the pavement, shake some hands. You’ll be hired in no time.
People get confused on what a construction site constitutes in comparison to a 19 year old subcontractor dripping paint on a window while his retired uncle yells outdated racial slurs at him.
As a guy who also works on construction sites, if you’re looking for site labourers, there’s a good chance they’d hire someone who walks in off the street.

Gonna be hard around here. They recently fixed all the cracks.
Did… did you have a crane operation license?
No! See, that’s the problem these days - too much regulation!

“pound the pavement” gets a whole new meaning then
Showing up and asking would probably work on a lot of construction sites though.
As a guy who works on construction sites, yeah no you’ll be thrown out before you ask that question

Homie, you don’t need any of that to be a site labourer. Not everyone on a construction site is a tradesman.
