“As we build out of this crisis, our ‘Build, Build, Build’ Program will continue to create employment opportunities with Bigay Trabaho that are still open for jobseekers,” DPWH Secretary Mark Villar said in a statement.
Among the jobs in various construction firms that are available include welders, laborers, civil engineers, materials engineers and technicians, equipment operators, foremen, carpenters among others.
“Jobseekers may still contact our different channels for available job positions that are vital to the success of our BBB Program. This is also our way of helping contractors so that they have enough manpower to implement and complete massive projects on time,” Villar said.
The program was launched last August 9 where workers may use different platforms to look for jobs, via landline — (02)16502, Viber — 0961-684-7084, or e-mail — markvillar_bigaytrabaho.dpwh.gov.ph.
