Summary
A civil engineering worker who mixes ready-mixed concrete on site, places it, compacts and finishes the surface, and ensures the quality of structures.
Description
A concrete kneading worker is responsible for placing ready-mixed concrete supplied from mixer trucks or similar at construction sites for civil engineering works to the designated locations, compacting it with vibrators, and smoothing the surface using trowels or floats. They monitor the hardening state after placement and perform appropriate curing to maintain the strength and finish quality of the concrete. As it involves heavy outdoor labor, high physical strength and safety awareness are required. Teamwork through coordination with other workers and supervisors is also essential.
