Job Overview
Concrete 4 Life Ltd is a hands-on Edmonton crew that turns fresh pours into flat, durable, ready-for-life surfaces – from shop floors and warehouse slabs to sidewalks and custom residential work. We’re hiring a skilled finisher who takes pride in straightedges, clean edges, and long-term cures. This is more than hourly pay; it’s a permanent slot on a team that values punctuality on site, safety under pressure, and offers legitimate LMIA support so proven tradespeople abroad can land, work legally, and grow with year-round projects. If you can read grade, run a power trowel, and still spot a missed hollow before it sets, we’ll pair your craft with steady pay and paperwork you can build on.

Languages

• English (able to understand toolbox talks, safety signage, grade instructions, and communicate clearly with crew leads and site clients)

Education

• Secondary (high) school graduation certificate or equivalent proven experience

Experience & Requirements

• 2 years to less than 3 years fresh concrete finishing, slab and curb work
• Verifiable experience placing, screeding, floating, and troweling flatwork and edges
• Basic math/grade reading, ability to interpret simple drawings and elevation stakes
• Valid Class 5 driver’s licence (or ability to reach disparate Edmonton-area sites reliably); own CSA steel-toe boots minimum
• Must be legally eligible to work in Canada or qualify for employer-supported LMIA; clean pre-employment references

Work Setting & Environment

• Outdoors on active construction sites across the city: urban streets, commercial pads, industrial bays, residential foundations, sidewalks/curbs, customer-facing locations
• Conditions are dusty, noisy, hot, cold, and wet/damp; weather-driven early startups and tight cure windows
• Mobile crew – travel between sites during the day; on-site customer service posture required

Responsibilities & Tasks

• Check formwork, granular base, and steel reinforcement for grade, alignment, and cleanliness before pour
• Direct concrete placement from trucks/chutes/pumps into forms, ensuring uniform flow and consolidation
• Operate internal/external power vibrators to compact concrete without segregation
• Strike off, screed, bull-float, then level top surface to specified grade, depth, and slope
• Fill hollows, cut down high spots, and remove surface imperfections on freshly poured cement
• Impart desired finish (smooth steel-trowel, broom, exposed aggregate, edging) using hand tools and power trowels/screeds
• Install anchor bolts, steel plates, door sills, joint materials, and other embedded fixtures accurately
• Apply hardening, sealing, curing compounds and membranes; monitor initial set and protect from weather damage
• Waterproof/damp-proof, patch, repair, resurface, and replace worn or damaged sections of existing concrete
• Clean tools, maintain equipment, and uphold worksite safety and traffic-control protocols

Work Conditions & Physical Capabilities

• Very physically demanding; standing, walking, bending, crouching, kneeling for extended periods on hard surfaces
• Repeated handling of heavy loads (lifting/carrying up to 35 kg / 70 lbs), vibrating tools, and awkward weather conditions
• Shift flexibility required; early placements before sunrise, possible night/weekend cures, and overtime in peak season

Personal Suitabilities

• Accurate
• Client focus
• Excellent oral communication
• Flexibility
• Team player
• Dependability
• Detail-driven with strong work-safety attitude

What We Offer

• Top-end journeyman-level rate: $40.00/hr paid on time, plus overtime after standard thresholds
• Permanent, year-round full-time work (weather and seasonal ramp-up explained at hire)
• LMIA documentation and step-by-step employer support for qualified overseas applicants; local starter-settlement info shared
• Crew PPE (hard hat, high-vis, gloves, masks) and access to power equipment; employer arranges tool maintenance
• Direct, tight-knit crew culture where craftsmanship and reliability are noticed, with opportunities for lead-hand progression

Who Can Apply

• Canadian citizens, permanent residents, or temporary residents of Canada, and candidates abroad with or without a valid Canadian work permit are encouraged. Applicants must be willing to work on Edmonton-area sites, pass a skills/reliability check, and meet physical/site-clearance standards associated with the LMIA.
