Plan, coordinate, and execute internal and external plastering/rendering works to approved drawings/specifications—achieving required flatness, line, level, and finish—while complying with Sharjah Municipality requirements and accounting for local weather and traffic/logistics constraints.
Review IFC/shop drawings, finish schedules, and method statements; raise RFIs for conflicts (thickness build-ups, movement joints, interfaces).
Prepare mock-ups/sample panels (internal cement-sand, external render, skim/putty) for consultant/client approval.
Verify materials match approvals (cement/sand grading or premix, lime/SBR/admixtures, mesh, corner/stopping beads, bonding agents, curing compounds).
Inspect substrates (AAC/CMU/blockwork/RC) for cleanliness, suction, moisture, and key; chip/roughen smooth RC and apply dash/bond coat as specified.
Install corner beads, screed guides, movement/control joints, anti-crack alkali-resistant mesh at stress zones (RC–block interfaces, lintels, door/window corners).
Check and protect waterproofing in wet areas; coordinate with MEP to complete first fix before closing walls.
Execute two-coat cement-sand plaster (scratch + float) or premix per spec; typical internal thickness 12–15 mm (as per project specs).
Maintain line/level/plumb using screeds and 2 m straightedge; achieve required flatness for tile/paint finishes.
Apply skim/putty where specified; finish to paint-ready surface with controlled suction.
Apply weather-resistant render to façades/parapets/soffits; typical thickness 15–20 mm (as per spec).
Form drip edges, chamfers, and proper falls on sills/bands; allow for texture coats or acrylic finishes if specified.
Treat wet areas (toilets/kitchens) with approved render/mesh details; maintain cover over waterproofing and coordinate protection.
Execute stair cores, shafts, service rooms with durability in mind (mesh at corners, robust mix).
Follow ITPs/method statements; present work for MIR/WIR inspections.
Check tolerances: verticality/level/flatness, thickness, arrises, joint alignment; rectify snags promptly.
Record batch data, mix proportions, curing logs, area tallies; update redlines for any detail changes.
Sequence works with blockwork completion, MEP first fix, window/door frames, and ceiling levels to avoid rework.
Protect adjacent finishes (aluminum & glass, stone/marble, joinery) during mixing/spraying and rubbing down.
Hand over true, flat substrates to painting/tiling teams with signed area acceptance.
Enforce safe scaffolding/MEWP use, edge protection, and access ways; manage manual handling of materials.
Control silica/cement dust (wet cutting/mixing stations, extraction, RPE), splash hazards, and electrical safety for mixers/pumps.
Maintain tidy mixing zones, safe hose routing, and proper waste/wash-out management.
Heat & Humidity:
Schedule heavy works and skim/finishing in early morning/evening; comply with MOHRE summer midday break.
Control substrate and mix temperature; pre-dampen high-suction blocks; extend curing (mist curing, curing compounds) to prevent plastic shrinkage and cracking.
Store cement/premix and mesh under shade/ventilation; avoid direct sun on fresh renders.
Dust/Sand:
Protect fresh plaster from wind-blown dust; cover openings; clean bonding faces before application and before paint.
Use dust suppression at cutting/grinding; protect MEP equipment/ducts.
Occasional Rain/Coastal Effects:
Suspend external works during rain; protect fresh render; check adhesion post-event.
Use corrosion-resistant beads/fixings where specified; ensure proper drip details on façades.
Traffic & Logistics:
Plan off-peak deliveries of sand/premix; stage materials close to work fronts without overloading slabs; coordinate hoist/lift times.
Provide banksmen for off-loading; keep access routes clear for inspections and emergencies.
7–10+ years plastering/rendering (UAE/GCC preferred) including internal/external works on RC buildings.
Skilled in screed guide setting, two-coat systems, skim/putty, mesh installation, corner beads, and façade details.
Able to read basic drawings/levels; familiar with project tolerances and movement-joint requirements.
Basic English for coordination; Arabic/Urdu/Hindi an advantage.
Mixers/pumps/spray machines, straightedges (2 m), spirit/laser levels, trowels/floats, corner/stop beads, hawks, jointing tools, brushes/sprayers for curing, cutting tools with extraction, scaffolds/MEWPs, PPE (helmet, gloves, boots, goggles, respirator).
Flatness/line/level accuracy & neat workmanship
Crack prevention (mesh, joints, curing discipline)
Productivity and team leadership
Interface management with waterproofing, MEP, and finishes
Safety awareness and housekeeping
First-time pass on WIRs; flatness/verticality within tolerance.
Crack/defect rate during DLP ≤ target; minimal rework.
Area productivity (m²/day) achieved vs. programme; timely handover to paint/tiling.
Proper curing recorded; zero lost-time incidents; clean, compliant mixing/hoist areas.
