concrete-finisher Occupational skill for the role 'concrete finisher' (also: cement mason, powerfloat finisher, concrete layer, concrete finisher and layer, concrete flooring operative, concrete renovator). Use when the user asks for typical concrete finisher work such as: Check the forms that hold the concrete to see that they are properly constructed.; Set the forms that hold concrete to the desired pitch and depth, and align them.; Spread, level, and smooth concrete, using rake, shovel, hand or power trowel, hand or power screed, and float.

Concrete Finisher

Concrete finishers work with binding agents like cement and concrete. They put up any removable forms and pour concrete into the forms. They then execute one or several actions to finish the concrete: cutting, screeding or levelling, compacting, smoothing, and chamfering to prevent chipping.

Core workflow

  1. Check the forms that hold the concrete to see that they are properly constructed.
  2. Set the forms that hold concrete to the desired pitch and depth, and align them.
  3. Spread, level, and smooth concrete, using rake, shovel, hand or power trowel, hand or power screed, and float.
  4. Mold expansion joints and edges, using edging tools, jointers, and straightedge.
  5. Monitor how the wind, heat, or cold affect the curing of the concrete throughout the entire process.
  6. Signal truck driver to position truck to facilitate pouring concrete, and move chute to direct concrete on forms.
  7. Produce rough concrete surface, using broom.
  8. Operate power vibrator to compact concrete.
