Lagging, if you can even class it a trade.
When I was building yachts there were these guys known as 'bonders' who basically just stick the decks to the hull and the bulkheads to the deck, like sealing a bath but without the precision, and the company paid them the same as the sparks.
 
The job we're on has laggers. When I pointed it out to my boss he said he was on a big site once where there was a guy employed just to do the siliconing!
 
Or GRP laminating - you need 2 rollers (which the company provide) and a bucket of goop. Place a bit of GRP mat in the mould, dip the fluffy roller in the goop, roll it on the GRP mat, then roll it again with the metal roller. Wax on, wax off. Repeat.
 
Rolling ceilings with extension pole - hard graft, plus making everyone else's work 'invisible'. No thanks!



On a flat, square surface with easy cuts, yes maybe, but some of those packs weigh a bit!




Aching shoulders/arms and neck and plasterboard dust in eye!



Gaffer has responsibility and buck stops there! Scheme provider - don't know really.



Great in good weather!
boards ars 20kg each but they use mini acro's or whatever you call them

then impact driver and screws.

easy
 
Not really trades but one site I worked on there was a lift man. He just stood in lift all day and pressed the button to what floor you wanted.

Another site had a big road sweeper that just went up and down the roads cleaning. That looked pretty relaxed.

Apparently there was one of those on a site I worked on. I didn't actually see him but my mate who started the job before me told me about him.
My mate thought he was some kind of lift engineer to begin with, but it turned out he was just a really lazy labourer.
I never saw the guy because he got the boot before I started.
