Place, compact, finish, and cure reinforced concrete for slabs, beams, columns, stairs, and parapets in accordance with approved drawings, method statements, and Sharjah Municipality requirements—delivering first-time quality and safe production under local weather and traffic/logistics constraints.
Read pour layouts/IFC drawings; confirm dimensions, levels, slopes, and joint locations.
Check formwork alignment/tightness, rebar size/spacing/cover blocks, sleeves/embeds, and access for vibrators.
Prepare tools/equipment: calibrated internal vibrators, screed boards, bull/steel floats, trowels, curing materials, edge tools, barriers/signage.
Verify each truck’s batch ticket, slump, and temperature; notify engineer of deviations.
Place concrete in controlled layers to avoid segregation; follow the specified pour sequence to prevent cold joints.
Maintain reinforcement cover and stability, especially at congested beam–column nodes and around openings.
Vibrate systematically (correct spacing/time, no over/under-vibration) to eliminate honeycombs/voids.
Achieve specified finishes: floated/trowelled/broomed; form clean arrises, chamfers, kicker edges, and construction joints as detailed.
Produce required falls (wet areas/terraces/ramps) and surface class/tolerances per spec.
Start curing immediately (water/compound/wet hessian) for the full specified duration.
Protect fresh concrete from traffic, vibration, sun, and wind; maintain barricades and signage.
Assist with cube/cylinder sampling, marking, storage, and log entries.
Support safe striking per method statement/strength criteria; prevent damage to green concrete.
Carry out approved minor repairs (pinholes, blow-outs) using specified materials and procedures.
Work to ITPs/method statements; present work for MIR/WIR inspections.
Keep pour cards, delivery receipts, slump/temperature logs, and daily records accurate.
Follow HSE rules: fall protection near slab edges, electrical safety for vibrators, manual-handling, cement-burn and silica dust precautions.
Heat & Humidity:
Schedule major pours early morning/evening; comply with MOHRE summer midday break.
Shade/cool forms and rebar; minimize haul time; use evaporation control (fogging/approved retarders) when specified.
Extend curing; prevent plastic shrinkage cracking (wind breaks, immediate curing).
Dust/Sand:
Clean forms and reinforcement before pour; protect fresh surfaces from wind-blown dust/sand; store materials under cover.
Occasional Rain/Coastal Effects:
Suspend pours during active rain; protect fresh concrete from washout; check bases/props after rainfall.
Use corrosion-resistant accessories where specified for coastal exposure.
Traffic & Logistics:
Plan off-peak or night deliveries of transit mixers; maintain clear pump access and washout area.
Provide banksmen at gates; coordinate SRTA/Police permits if road occupation or crane/pump setups affect public ways.
3–6 years concrete placement/finishing on RC buildings (UAE/GCC preferred).
Able to read simple drawings/levels and follow setting-out marks.
Proficient in placing, vibrating, finishing, and curing slabs, beams, columns, stairs.
Knowledge of common defects and prevention (honeycombs, cold joints, cracking, inadequate cover).
Internal vibrators, screed boards, bull/steel floats, edging tools, trowels/power trowel (if specified), curing sprayers, levels/laser, barriers/signage, PPE (helmet, gloves, boots, goggles, respirator).
Quality workmanship (line/level/finish) & attention to detail
Team coordination with carpenters, steel fixers, and pump operators
Time management during pours; disciplined curing
Safety-first mindset and housekeeping
First-time pass on WIRs; surface class/tolerances achieved.
Cube strength compliance ≥ target; zero honeycombing/cold-joint incidents.
Adherence to pour durations and curing windows on programme.
Zero lost-time incidents; compliance with midday break and site traffic plan.
