We are seeking an experienced **Specialty Concrete Technician**. This position is for someone who can **do layout, build and strip formwork, install reinforcing steel, place concrete, and finish concrete to a high standard**. This is a skilled trade role—not general labour.

- Concrete removal using chippers, jackhammers, and specialty demolition tools
- Placing, consolidating, screeding, and **hand and machine finishing concrete**:

- Surface preparation including sandblasting and patch preparation
- Preparing substrates for waterproofing membranes and coatings
- Working independently or as part of a crew to meet quality and schedule requirements
- Participation in toolbox talks, safe work plans, and site inspections
- Operating equipment such as forklifts, skid steers, scissor lifts, and boom lifts
- Maintaining a clean, organized, and safe worksite
- Other specialty concrete tasks as required by the project

**Requirements**:

- Proven experience with **formwork, rebar installation, concrete placement, and finishing**:

- Physically capable of demanding construction work
- Willingness to work 40+ hours per week, with occasional evenings or weekends
- Ability to travel occasionally throughout the Maritimes
- Valid driver’s license is an asset, but not mandatory

**What We Offer**
- Long-term employment with a well-established contractor
- Above-average wages for skilled concrete technicians
- Company RRSP matching and health benefits
- Ongoing safety training and skill development
- Varied, technically challenging projects (restoration, not repetitive slab work)

If you are a **competent concrete professional** who can build forms, tie steel, place concrete, and finish it properly—and you take pride in your work—send your resume.

**Job Types**: Full-time, Permanent

Pay: $25.00-$35.00 per hour

**Benefits**:

- Dental care
- Extended health care
- RRSP match
