Qualifications The ideal candidate will have:

Experience with bridge rehabilitation, structural concrete repairs, vertical/overhead repairs, form-and-pour repairs, epoxy systems or other civil infrastructure work would be considered a strong asset. Concrete Finisher apprenticeship or certification is an asset but is not required.

What We're Looking For

proper demolition → proper surface preparation → correct material preparation → proper placement → quality finishing → proper curing

We are willing to further develop someone who has strong basic concrete skills, a good work ethic and an interest in becoming highly proficient in concrete repair and restoration.
