What your card proves

The work a buyer needs to see at a glance.

A client or contracting officer scanning ten fence erectors wants fast proof you actually do the work. These are the core duties O*NET ties to your field — your capability card turns them into scannable proof points instead of a wall of text.

Duty 01
Establish the location for a fence, and gather information needed to ensure that there are no electric cables or water lines in the area.
Duty 02
Set metal or wooden posts in upright positions in postholes.
Duty 03
Measure and lay out fence lines and mark posthole positions, following instructions, drawings, or specifications.
Duty 04
Align posts, by lines or sighting, and verify vertical alignment of posts, using plumb bobs or spirit levels.
Duty 05
Attach rails or tension wire along bottoms of posts to form fencing frames.
Duty 06
Dig postholes, using spades, posthole diggers, or power-driven augers.

The government-contracting edge

Where the steady budgets actually are.

Most fence erectors win public work as subcontractors to construction and facilities primes, and through small-business set-aside programs. Primes vet subs fast — a living capability card with your licenses, bonding posture, and recent work is how you get the call instead of getting screened out. We build it to be that fast yes.
