Concrete Laborer Duties and Responsibilities
As so many structures depend on concrete, concrete laborers must take their position seriously. A job done right will look good and withstand the test of time. An analysis of job postings reveals these core tasks as common for concrete laborers to do:
Transport Material Concrete laborers may load supplies and work tools onto trucks to bring to the site and may even drive the vehicle. At the construction site, they unload objects and get them where they need to be.
Breaking Up Old Concrete Before new concrete can be poured, existing concrete often must be dug out or broken up (such as a cracked sidewalk). Concrete laborers perform these processes.
Mix, Pour, and Spread Concrete As noted earlier, concrete contains a mixture of materials that must be put together in proper proportions. It gets mixed right before using so that it is fresh and pourable rather than already starting to get hard. Concrete laborers assist in maintaining a proper supply of concrete so that operations remain constant. They also guide the concrete to the proper places and direct the driver of the mixing truck as to where to best be positioned. They use tools to distribute the concrete and smooth the top.
Maintain Safety Construction sites pose a variety of risks. Concrete laborers are expected to do their part in preventing accidents by cleaning up the work environment and the tools, being mindful of their actions, and wearing appropriate safety gear such as hard hats and reflective vests.
Concrete Laborer Skills
The ability to perform hard work is at the heart of being a concrete laborer. But beyond physical ability, hiring managers look for candidates capable of these things:
- Working well with others since projects are typically done in teams
- Listening to directions so that work is done properly and safety is maintained
- Monitoring situations, such as weather and what others are doing, in order to make adjustments and maintain quality
Concrete Laborer Education and Training
Roughly half of concrete laborers hold a high school diploma and half do not. Though on-the-job training is common, applicants who already have studied concrete finishing and similar techniques at a vocational school may have better job prospects.
Concrete Laborer Salary
The median annual salary for concrete laborers, categorized by the BLS under “cement masons and concrete finishers,” is $39,180. Concrete laborers in the 10th percentile earn about $26,600 a year and the highest paid make in excess of $68,400 a year. Concrete laborers in Alaska, New York, and Hawaii make the highest median salaries in the U.S. — $68,110, $67,270, and $66,540, respectively.
