About This Role:
On behalf of our client, we are seeking an experienced and meticulous Concrete Floor Finisher to become an integral part of their skilled team. This is not a generic flooring role; it is a specialist position focused on the installation, finishing, and transformation of industrial and commercial concrete floors. You will be responsible for executing complex flooring projects from initial substrate preparation through to the final high-gloss polish or seamless resin coat. This role demands a deep understanding of concrete as a material, a mastery of advanced machinery, and a craftsman's pride in delivering a flawless, durable finish that meets the most stringent specifications.

Key Duties & Responsibilities:
Project Initiation & Technical Preparation
• Conduct detailed on-site analysis and precise measurements of floor areas, meticulously calculating material requirements for complex concrete mixes, resins, hardeners, and dyes by consulting technical project plans and specifications.
• Execute comprehensive surface preparation protocols, including mechanical grinding, scarifying, and shot blasting to remove existing coatings, contaminants, and laitance, ensuring the creation of a perfectly profiled and sound substrate for optimal coating adhesion.
Advanced Concrete Finishing & Decorative Techniques
• Expertly mix, place, and finish concrete using power and hand trowels to achieve stringent flatness and levelness (FF/FL) tolerances required for high-traffic industrial and commercial environments.
• Operate and maintain a range of heavy-duty planetary grinders and industrial polishing equipment to progressively refine concrete surfaces, achieving specified levels of aggregate exposure and a mirror-like gloss finish.
• Prepare and apply advanced multi-layer flooring systems, including high-build epoxy, polyurethane, and methyl methacrylate (MMA) coatings, strictly adhering to manufacturer technical data sheets for mix ratios, application methods, and environmental conditions.
Precision Installation & Seamless Application
• Skilfully measure, cut, and install a variety of resilient sheet and tile flooring materials, performing intricate custom cuts to fit seamlessly around complex structural fixtures, columns, and service penetrations.
• Install specialised jointing and edge-trim systems, ensuring all transitions between different flooring materials and at doorways are not only functional and safe but also aesthetically professional.
Quality Assurance & Proactive Remediation
• Perform rigorous, methodical inspections of completed work at every project phase, utilising industry-standard techniques to identify and proactively address any potential defects such as blistering, delamination, or surface inconsistencies.
• Diagnose the root cause of flooring issues and execute precise repairs and corrective grinding to restore surface integrity and appearance, guaranteeing the long-term performance and durability of the installation.
Safety Compliance & Collaborative Teamwork
• Maintain an unwavering commitment to workplace safety by strictly adhering to all company and site-specific safety protocols, consistently utilising all required personal protective equipment (PPE), and actively participating in safety meetings.
• Collaborate effectively with project managers, site supervisors, and other trades to ensure seamless workflow, communicate project progress, and meet critical project milestones and deadlines in a fast-paced environment.

What You Bring (Qualifications & Experience):
• Experience in concrete finishing, grinding, polishing, and the application of flooring finishes systems is not required but is highly sought after.
• Experience with Hard Labour is required as this is a physical job. At least 2 years of manual labouring experience is preferred.
• Ability to safely operate and conduct basic maintenance on all essential industry machinery, including planetary grinders, ride-on trowels, shot blasters, and low-speed burnishers.
• An exceptional eye for detail and a documented commitment to quality workmanship, with the ability to produce consistent results that meet high-performance standards.
• Excellent physical fitness and stamina, with the capability to manually handle heavy materials, tools, and equipment and to perform demanding tasks involving bending, kneeling, and standing for extended shifts.
• A valid Driver’s Licence and reliable transportation are mandatory requirements for travel to various project sites across the region and the main operating shed.

Working Conditions:
This is a physically demanding role based on active construction and industrial sites. The successful candidate will be required to work both indoors and outdoors, occasionally in non-climate-controlled environments. The role involves regular exposure to typical site conditions such as dust, noise, and varying temperatures, all of which are managed through strict safety controls and provided PPE.
