Concrete Flatwork Finishing Specialist

Job Description

Job Description

Shape durable surfaces across Canby, OR

From the first screed pass at daybreak to the final cut and seal, you craft concrete that performs and looks exceptional. As our Concrete Flatwork Finishing Specialist in Canby, OR, you’ll take ownership of placing, shaping, and perfecting surfaces for slabs, sidewalks, driveways, curbs, aprons, and related flatwork.

You arrive on site ready to translate pour plans and technical drawings into precise grades and slopes. You coordinate with form setters and ready‑mix suppliers on timing, slump, and pour sequencing. Once the mud hits, you work the surface with the right tools at the right moments—screeds and bull floats early, then hand trowels, edgers, and jointers, and when the slab is ready, walk‑behind or ride‑on trowels for the finish you’ve targeted. You deliver a wide range of textures—from broom and steel trowel to hard‑trowel, exposed aggregate, and stamped patterns—meeting specified surface tolerances throughout.

• Mix, pour, place, and spread concrete in line with project specifications and schedules.
• Place, level, and finish concrete using screeds, bull floats, hand trowels, edgers, jointers, and walk‑behind or ride‑on trowels.
