Summary
Ready-mix concrete production equipment operators operate plant equipment to mix cement, aggregates, and water in appropriate ratios to produce ready-mix concrete. They also perform quality control and safety management.
Description
Ready-mix concrete production equipment operators measure and charge cement, aggregates, water, and admixtures into the plant, mix them in a mixer, and produce ready-mix concrete while confirming quality through slump tests and the like. In addition to daily equipment operation, they handle machine cleaning, inspection, simple maintenance, creation of operation records, safety and health management, and environmental measures (washing water treatment, dust control). Shift work is common, and work involves indoor and outdoor operations with exposure to noise and dust.
