Paver

Also known as: Paving layer

Lays paving stones, slabs and street surfaces in public spaces and on private grounds, ensuring correct drainage and compaction.

The paver often works on civil projects for municipalities or contractors, outdoors and under time pressure due to traffic disruption. The distinction from a groundworker lies in the precision work of laying patterns and flatness. Selection often fails on too little attention to the base beneath the paving, so subsidence only becomes visible months later.
