This video should help you get a job in NYC in construction.
The construction industry is better now then ever .

No one ever returns to the site to take the job.
Please watch the video , leave comments or any questions you may have , and i will get back to you.
Hope you enjoy and leave a like to support the channel.
PLEASE SUBSCRIBE .
Thanks for watching , Mike Espo.
This video may be 3 years old but this will come in handy when I start off on Construction.
We’re can I go to work as a laborer? I have a osha 30 hour card ? I also live in New York
@@Nobodyhas2 bro asked any job site
@@reymond2966 thanks bro are you sure that’s ok like if I just walk right up ?
@@Nobodyhas2 im not too sure but hey its ok to try and find out bro, i wish u the best hope u get to find a good job 👏🏾
@@Nobodyhas2 updates on getting a job by walking up?
Just completed my 40 hour SST training. I’ve worked doing construction off the books for the last two years. Trying to get on the books and a steady job now. Off the books wasn’t as steady. I appreciate your videos. I will start going around to the job sites here in NYC and ask for the foreman. Hopefully I get in somewhere. I’m 23 and want to learn a trade and do this kind of work forever. Hopefully I find a job. Appreciate your advice. Just for the record when this video came out a OSHA 10 was required l. Fast forward as of March 2021 it’s now 40 hours in total!!
Try Local 79 Laborers Union .
They have a office in NYC , and a school in LIC Queens . Ask them if they are hiring apprenticeship program . Good luck . Mike
how did you get the off the books job?
What does on and off the books mean?
I worked for my step father for over 30 years , he passed away and his sons took everything for themselves and now I am looking for a away to be able to survive and thrive , thank you again for the help and the hope , respectfully,,, victor

Thanks for sharing this!! I'm getting my Osha 30 now since NYC changed the rules. I'm hoping to get in construction soon.
Good luck . Mike Espo
@@diecast_MikeEspo Thank you!
Shane Washington what’s the new rules?
@@akuaku3496 This was from 2019. When I was applying for entry level construction jobs, an OSHA 10 was required but in 2019 an OSHA 30 was required for entry level jobs.
Hope this helpd!
Shane Washington yeh thanks I see you only just posted this ? I wouldn’t go outside there is a riot
Great video Mike, don't forget to tell these young people to show up on TIME! once they get hired. Waltzing in at 8:30-9 doesn't cut it. If I had a dollar for every time I have had that conversation with a young newbie.....
Your right , it happens on my site all the time , 8 , 9 . and they really don't care . Thanks for watching . Mike

Thank you mike i appreciate the advice you’ve given, I have an opportunity to get my osha for free, I think I’m going to take it because it’s good money and it’s a good trade to get involved in

Hi Mike, thanks for the video. What are good entry level jobs? My research online says flagging only pays $15 an hour. Anything that pays $25 or more at entry level? I’m thinking of getting my osha 30 card
@@diecast_MikeEspo doing it next week on thursday and friday when I have a break in my schedule. I was wondering what entry level jobs I would be able to get with the OSHA 30 card and what would the pay be? I really appreciate your time. Im highly motivated to get this done. Thanks Mike
appreciate the info big mike
Thanks for watching Mike Espo.
Hi Mike, I haven't had any luck with my OSHA 10 card and Flagger card :( Any other ideas? Are there groups to join where people post work? Do you know of anyone in Brooklyn hiring? If I join a union, will they help me find work? Thanks for your help
If you want to go to Long Island Queens NY , 11101 . The address is 4253 21 street.
This is a training center for Laborers and Masons , You can ask them if they are hiring laborers . It is a Union , Local 79 . They might be able to help you or put you on a list .It is a good union .
OR , Ask them what NYC companies are hiring laborers at this time . Bring all your cards with you and I D , do not be afraid to show them all your cards. Mike Espo...
Mike Espo diecast customs & more much appreciated! You’re a good dude, Mike
@@sciencesaves Thanks , let me know how it went . Mike

Hey wassup Mike I been doing exactly what you said in the video and still no luck, do you know any specific sites hiring right now ? I'm in nyc
email me , my email is on youtube
Mike Espo which video, I don't see it
Do you need the Osha 10 and Osha 30 to work in construction in NYC? A friend told me i don't need the Osha 10 i just need the Osha 30 but i honestly think he's wrong.
He is right , the rules are for you to get on a construction site, you need a 30 hour OSHA card . Take the course in a class , not on line , a lot of fake company’s on line .
Thanks for watching, Mike Espo .
@@diecast_MikeEspo Thank you so much Mike.
What about Equipment Operators ? Like backhoes and excavators ?
Hi Christian , what about them , if you are a operator today , you should be WORKING ......
Every site in NYC has a working operator , or 2 and 3 and more. Now if you are looking for a job as a Equipment operator , you must go to school and learn how to operate a machine , its that simple . NYC is so busy now with construction jobs its not funny . Just walk around and see for yourself . Mike Espo....
Very good video , young people must realize that they have to get out and walk the streets and look for jobs . TT
Yes , it sounds hard , but its not , and its a way to meet people face to face . Thanks for watching , Mike Espo...
hey mike where are you located i have my osha 30 and i have my sst card, and my 4hr flaggers card as well. I want to work at your site. But im tryinf to figure out where you are located
Hi Sasa , unfortunately I am at many sites right now .
Just walk around NYC and see by asking for a foreman to speak to , good luck .
Hello.mike I took your advice.but I came back you never got back to me about a job..I got my OSHA and flaggers
Goggle LBG , company name is Leading Builders , they are building all over NYC .
Also Goggle Tishman , both of these companies hire from the internet , make sure you put down the cards you already have . Walk around 24 street , 10 ave 9 and 8 ave area . . Good luck Mike
Hey Mike,
I just finished up my OSHA 10 and I'm currently enrolled in OSHA 40 and will be complete by the end of this week.
My instructor suggested to me that once I'm done with OSHA 40 I should take the 4-hour scaffold. After coming across this video I'm also getting the flagger card. Can you recommend any additional cards I should get to increase my value when I talk to the foremen?
Thanks for creating this video and I look forward to hearing your response.
Hey Shawn , you will need to complete a few classes to get an SST card .
Just goggle SST card Construction and all the info should come up .
Good luck
Mike
@@diecast_MikeEspo👍🏾
Can anyone tell me what the 2nd card or course is called? Can’t really understand what he said
Fire safety card .
Hello mike, im a beginner in construction i just received my osha 10 card and im in new york...can you help me get a job on site..i dont know if you can tell me where exactly you are i can meet you? My name is kervin btw
Yes , you must walk the streets of NYC , the construction jobs are on every corner . Ask to speak with a Foreman , try to talk with 7 foreman a day , you will get hired from one of them . Mike
Okay!
Hey, I’m British serving in the Royal Navy at the moment, but I’m wanting to relocate to New York or Boston MA, how would I go about getting works as a labourer or dockhand
Right now no one is hiring in NYC, due to the riots and Covid 19 and waiting for the new President to happen , a lot of jobs closed up . NYC is really empty .
@@diecast_MikeEspo so in 2 or 3 years time would be a better idea?
@@SkitzProductions I pray that it does not take that long , i can not know , my company now has 40 guys who are not working , NYC is a mess .
Do you know any good reasonable training centers within the Bronx or Manhattan specifically to obtain these cards?
Yes , if you google safety schools , They are in NYC and Queens in LIC .
Yes Mike
Thanks for watching Kurbz, and thanks for your support.
Mike
hi I'm looking to start my construction career but I need some guidance. I wanna work in the city where do you specifically think I can find a job site?
Hi , All over the city , and the 5 boroughs . NYC is booming , work is going strong again . What do you want to do ??
Mike Espo ??
Whats the easiest entry level construction job?
A Flagger .
A worker , man or woman, who holds a 🛑 stop sign or an orange flag .
And directs traffic or slows traffic down.
It is an important part of construction 🦺.
Hi, im 18 and trynna to get started. I live in NY! I will get to getting these 2 cards ! Do you have a email I can contact you? Maybe I could get a job on your site when I get the cards?
Hi , i do not do the hiring , sorry . But NYC is so busy now , just walk around and see all the sites .
Mike Espo...
I’m not sure if it’s different for each state but I live in California do these step also apply for us or no?
Hi , In every state you need certain SST card training , or a OSHA 40 card .
If you google what are the certifications to work in construction in your state I am sure you will get the correct answer . or check with a local Union , a few unions still have entry level training programs and they will help you get all the correct cards in order to work . Good Luck . Mike .
I was looking into possibly becoming a contractor. Obviously, in order to do that I would need to work a construction job; however, I was also wanting to take up MMA as one of my hobbies that could possibly turn into a career if I end up being good enough at it. The earliest MMA class starts at 7:00pm. Do you think a construction job would be able to fit my schedule, or are they too sporadic?
Construction jobs hours in NYC are 6:00AM to 5:00Pm and longer , most guys do 12 hour days . Good luck with the MMA .
@@diecast_MikeEspo 5:00pm would work for me, just have to figure out if the options around me have that same schedule. Thank you.
Good luck , God Bless .
I’m doing my ohsa 10 and flagger course, tomorrow at Lon island city, will you help me after with a job?
Just hit the streets. If you want , start in LIC Queens . Construction jobs are everywhere in LIC , its building up like crazy. Then go into NYC , start on Broadway , and you will see construction site everywhere. Mike
Great video, Big Mike, keep up the good work, we all can learn from you!
Thanks for watching , Mike Espo...
Now they require you to have a sst card I'm going for my 40hr sst card now, but my question is should I go for the 30hr OSHA card or 10?
It is confusing, go for your SST card . Every site it is needed on . Good Luck
If you have time , go get your Fire safety card , you can get it in Brooklyn , it is a good card to have . I think it only cost 25.00 , and you can use it on a lot of sites . Also not that hard of a job to do .
@@diecast_MikeEspo I completed the training for the SST card last week, I'm waiting for the card in the mail hopefully I get sometime this month. I would definitely look into getting my fire safety card. Uh Do you know the actual place in Brooklyn I can go to it would definitely help and thank you for the information.
Hi , it is 9 Metrotech center in Brooklyn.
718-999-0779 , they should give you study material, and then you can go back and take the test . Good luck . Mike
@@diecast_MikeEspo I got my osha, sst, flagger, scaffold and working on my f-60 can I come work for you?
@@Richloouser I do not do the hiring , sorry . But a lot of NYC are hiring for a lot of jobs in construction right now . Just get out in the streets and look , you can see so many open sites . Mike
I’m coming back bro hire me I swear to go I work for you bro
im interested in getting into carpentry with no cards or experience, would you recommend going this same route ? and what about the weather its getting cold here in nyc would carpentry even be busy? been trying to get my foot in the door for a minute now
Would appreciate an answer thanks mike
Most of all carpentry work is done inside . First look up the NYC carpentry union , and apply for the apprenticeship program , i think the school for them is around 24 street , i am not sure . Or find a cabinet making shop , that is a shop that builds kitchen cabinets, in a shop you will start out cutting wood parts and then learn from them. Carpentry is a very good field , when you get really good at it you can build anything out of wood , and that's when the big bucks come in, custom work . Mike Espo . Good Luck..
Hey Mike, will a union foreman hire me if I have no construction experience, but present these certificates. I'm looking to get into the union as an apprentice carpenter. I'm just afraid that I won't get a job with the union and have certificates I can't make any use of. Do you recommend going non union then union, or should I go straight to the big leagues.
That is a hard question, There are many jobs in construction these days. So many times i have been asked by many people about union jobs , yes union jobs are great to work on and they have great benefits, but the word is BUT how do you get a union job if you do not know anyone who is in the union. In some cases you need a person who is in a union to get you a job. Construction is great in NYC right now , so if you really want a job you must walk the streets and ask people that you see outside of a construction site. In Queens LIC , a construction job is on every block. Now is the time . GET out in the street and talk to people , your not going to get a job sitting in your house looking at a computer all day , talk to the people . Union or non union they both build buildings that are in the big league ... Mike Espo
i'm a union worker maybe you get lucky and you can start as aprentice labor, butt if you want go to the ofice that you want to, they will give you the info.
Go union, Non-Union companies exploit there workers, lower pay no health benifits and take advatage of there workers. Be persistant, shape jobs im an operator local 15 nyc took me 3 years of not giving up and shaping jobs calling the business agents to finally get a shot and get my union book. Carpernters union just had applications and will continue. you can go on labor.ny.gov to look at what apprentiships are coming out
THANK U
You're welcome, thank you for watching .
Hey Mike, i just completed my OSHA 10 certification. I know you recommend the flagman training as well but I am unable to get it moment. Would the OSHA 10 be enough, and if so, where could I work?
Every where , NYC and the 5 boro,s . Just look around , walk around . Mike Espo..
Hey Mike what if you have an engineering background. Would this also work to get an engineering gig in the city? Been looking for the last few years how to get back to the city I grew up in. Most engineering jobs are outside cities unless they are software.
I have an engineer on my site now for underpinning , he has his OSHA 30 card so that he is allowed to be on site .
Now everyone must have a 30 hour OSHA card to be even on the smallest site , or the big sites . So if you plan to work in NYC , you will have to get it . Mike Espo..
I understand. What I meant is do you think walking on job sites can also get you engineering jobs or project management jobs if you have both those cards? Can I send you my resume?
I will get you a phone number of the group that is on my site , you can talk to someone there . I will get back to you , Mike

Its the same here in NYC to, but a lot of people still do not come back to get the job. Mike Espo...
Thanks for your info..❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏
Your welcome , good luck .
That is what they say but when you eventually go look for a job they don’t hire you they tell you they gonna call you and they never do and they give those job to people they know or are close to them
Hi Alex , i want you to go to LIC Queens , Local 79 Mason Tenders Union . Look up the address on Google , it is in LIC Queens , this is the school for Union laborers , The union has an Apprenticeship program , put your name on the list , ask question of how many guys they are hiring this year . Tell them you want to be in the Apprenticeship program.
Now , every month go back and place your name back on the list ! And do this every month over and over .

Hey mike I am a flagger and have my OSHA certs but I wanna move up and work as a labor worker. so far I wasnt able to find a job
So far where have you been looking in New York ??, Did you watch part 2 video >???
I did watch the part 2 sir, I am a flagger myself with experience I been looking around Brooklyn and Manhattan but no luck.
You should try to go to 10 to 15 sites a day for one week ? Did you give that a try ??
no sir
Go Go , hit the streets , make a game of it , you will have to try it . Better then staying home and doing nothing . Mike
Update you need Osha 30 !
Yes you are right , I have to make a new up to date video , Thanks Mike..
Hi Mike, thanks so much for the info. I live in South Brooklyn and just got my 10 hour and 4 hour courses done at your recommendation. How do I find you now so I can walk up to you with my two cards and ask you for a job? :) Thanks for your help, I'm hoping you know of someone that needs a entry-level worker. Talk to you soon
Hi , You can try this area , on 10 ave in NYC , from 24 street to 79 street , this ave is very busy , walk on 10 ave , you will see a lot of new construction . Also make sure you bring proof of the the 2 cards that you have and valid I D .

Mike Espo diecast customs & more thank you Mike. I freelance as a professional photographer, was with the NY Post and Dan Rather for years before going out on my own. I’m looking to break into construction photography. I figure I’ll start at the bottom to meet some people first, and then network my way into it. But do you have any friends or companies that you know of that need photographers or videographers? I look forward to taking you out to lunch someday for all this info and help 👍🏼
Is the osha 10 card and the 4 hour flag card in all states?
You don’t need the OSHA 10 anymore.
In NYC they completely changed the rules. You now need a SST CARD .
So Google SST card , I think it is a total of 60 hours of different subjects.
A flaggers card is still very good to have .
Mike
Where can i get sst for the best price?@@diecast_MikeEspo
I want to move to America and work construction....How can I get started
First I guess you have to get to America.
If you want to work , you can .
Mike Espo .
THIS IS THE ADVICE I NEEDED
Good luck my friend.
Hi mike u are a great person...
I wanna know that i have nebosh igc and i have 2 years gulf experience can i get job there .
If yes than how
Yes , but the best thing for you to do is to walk the streets of NYC or LIC Queens . Construction is at it,s best right now , some blocks have 2 sites on them. Good luck Mike .
Also watch part 2 of that video , and see how that girl got her foot in the door. Mike
thanks for your valuable reply
Now we need OSHA 30 + 10 more hours of other safety DOB courses by May 2019
Yes , we need a lot more classes , i will have to make a list .
What if I bought my union book? Will it also be easy?
If you have union book , then i am sure you can call or go to your hall for a job ? If it is out of state , then call and ask what union they are connected to in New York, they might be able to help you. Mike Espo..
I am a Site Engineer ,Do I need only these 2 cards or something else ?
As a Engineer , to work on site you will need just the OSHA 10 Card . or if you want OSHA 30 card , same information as OSHA 10 , but more information about safety .
Is Construction still booming in the City big Mike?
Yes , Hudson yards is building up on 10 ave from 34 street to 42nd street .
LIC Queens , Queens Plaza area , still being built up .
Just walk around NYC , talk to workers on sites , Good Luck . Mike Espo..
I live here in Connecticut, I assume all union construction jobs are the same in the aspect you need to know someone to start an apprenticeship? Personally I’m looking at my local electrician Union in Hartford, CT. How can I start an apprenticeship without knowing a union member?
It is very hard , but if walk up to 50 different job sites an ask to speak with the electric foreman , and the foreman comes out to the street to talk to you , just ask for the entry level job , do not bring up apprenticeship , if they hire you as a helper and you turn out to be a good worker then the apprenticeship will follow . Try NYC , it is so busy . Mike
Mike Espo Thanks for the input! Should I have anything else or just the qualifications you mentioned in the video?
Just the OSHA 10 card and a flagging card should do fine .
Great video, I'm gonna get those 2 things 👍🏾
Good luck , the work is out in the streets , it is a busy time in construction . Mike Espo...
Hi Mike, another question: how important is a high school diploma?
Hey Tim , to funny , but i will answer your question , Very important .
Do the hirers look at academic records?
I don't think so . But some times they do ask for a resume , hope that helps.
hello their im 16 could you tell me what i need to do to get a construction job
At 16 , see if you can find a local builder around where you live . Maybe a cabinet maker shop or tile store , and ask if they need a helper who wants to learn while he cleans up the shop . Good Luck .
Big mike, I just found your channel today and this is a good video on construction which I'm interested in. My question is I'm NYC is the work good in money
The money is good , some laborers start at 14 to 16 an hour plus benefits , if you have a flagging card , and/or a scaffold card these 2 are a plus , you must have a OSHA10 card to work on any site . Once you are a laborer you can always move up or work with a different trade, and then make even more money. Mike
Am looking construction job but I have no experience I have OSHA card
You should get your flagging card , then walk all around NYC and hit the sites that are open , a lot of jobs are hiring . Just show them your ready to work and have your cards ready .
try 42 street area near 10 ave and 11 ave . Good luck .
@@diecast_MikeEspo Thanks 👍 I will
@@diecast_MikeEspo as I told you I don't have experience can I get it without experience?

Hi Joseph , In LIC Queens , Local 79 has a training center . You can ask them if they have a new list that you can add your name to. Also you can walk from job to job site in NYC , and ask to speak to a foreman , then ask if they are hiring . Good Luck . Mike

Hi Mike,
My name is sunny.... i am new to new york. I have 10 years experience as a layout man (surveyor) for high rise buildings residential and commercial. I am Local 183 LIUNA worker in Canada. I am looking for a job. What steps do i need to join the union. I already tried but union is not hiring. What should i do. I am civil engineer. I worked for PremForm Construction. Its in top five in Canada. Please guide me. I shall be thankful to you.
Hi , Sunny Unfortunately, a lot of sites in NYC right now are closing , part due to COVID 19 , the riots , unrest in the streets , and people moving out of NYC by the thousands . My company had 80 workers in the start of this year , we now are at 35 workers. I really don't know any sites that are hiring at this time , most companies are waiting to see who the President is going to be . Maybe 2021 will be the start for a new year and new jobs . I really wanted to tell you good news , but at this time i am not sure where to look . Good luck , Mike Espo.
@@diecast_MikeEspo
Thank you mike. I am still trying and just completed my OSHA 30, let’s see how it goes.
Ok good luck
Hi, great day, I am aware of what happened, okay I will remember to call them today, I will put this on my to-do-list, I appreciate your patience. All is well.
No worries
Hello Mike , I get my osha 10 and four hour flagger card by May. I just do exactly what you say ?
It cannot hurt , NYC has many new sites opening everyday, all you need to do is walk around NYC and look and see for yourself . Best time to be in construction is now . Thanks Mike.

Hey big mike whats the situation with work permit and citizenship? Do employers look into that or will they not bother because my freind has a ITIN and osha card but hes from irland and dosent have citosenship he pays taxes and volenteers but wants to get into construction do you know anything about this gray area should it be a issue ?
It is a gray area , some small companies will let him work and ask no questions, but big companies will not let him work.
He just has to apply to more company’s and see how will hire him .
Mike Espo
Aight thanks

So all I need is an OSHA card, the flagger thing, the vest, and boots and I’ll be fine??? No need to go to trade school big mike???? I’m 18 and I really want to go to construction
If you want you can work with those items now , and if you do like construction , you can go to trade school in a year ? Just an idea .

Hi Mike
Hi , Thanks for watching .
Mike I have an extensive record working as an estimator and project manager. Do you have any connections? I’m moving to NYC in November
First you should have a resume ready , and a OSHA 10 Card , that would be good for starters , how can you get it to me ? Mike
Shoot me a text I can forward you anything. 561-281-0047 I don't mind working as an assistant or junior estimator.
Where is the best OSHA classes in Brooklyn?
Thee are a few in NYC and LIC Queens , not sure of any in Brooklyn . Thanks for watching , Mike Espo..
JK. G I googled Ocean. Sounded like that’s what he said.
@@diecast_MikeEspo hey,
What card do I need now? The 30 hour one or the 10 hour one to work for construction?
Thanks.
@@AhmedKhan-dq4ku Now it is the 30 hour OSHA card. Mike
Mike, Im working in the middle East as safety specialist and planning to move to the states soon I have many certificates like iosh, nebosh, CPR,nasp, Jordanian osha, ohsas
What tips you give to get quick HSE jobs in the states nothing that I am also a us citizen
Right now many states have a lot of construction jobs , New York , New Jersey, Florida . It sounds like you have enough certificates to start as a safety coordinator , this is a good job and in demand. New York City has a site on almost every other block , so i do not see you having a problem finding a job. Mike
Bless you sir.
Thanks for watching , Mike Espo...
Where is your site located I’m looking into getting my osha 30
I am not on a site at this time .
You now need a SST Card . OSHA 30 will be in that included in that card .
Check for a school in LIC , some courses on line are scams and your time doing them will not be accepted by NYC DOB .
@@diecast_MikeEspo thanks for your response. Im located in the Bronx I’m getting setup up to take the OSHA. I heard about sst but didn’t know as much as you told me. Their aren’t any classes in the city?
Yes , there are a few safety companies that have classes in NYC .
@@diecast_MikeEspo thank you
Where can I take the osha courses in person? I already got scammed so I’m a bit skeptical
Do not take it on line . If you are in NYC , many schools have it , if not just goggle it and put the area near your home . Hope that helps , good luck . Mike
Can I be a college student and work construction or is that too much
Yes , but you would still have to get all the paperwork done, OSHA and SST .
It does take a while to complete.
@@diecast_MikeEspo that can be done in a day or 2 just requires to sit down. No jobs are accepting me and I’m a hard worker so I’ll try construction
Try a local shop near you , a place that is doing big house decks or installations of sprinklers. These shops you can walk right in and start working.
Show up asking for the job with a hard hat and gloves , maybe even safety glasses.
Show the owner that you are serious and ready to work. Your just another face , until you get working and prove yourself.
Good luck .
Mike
