Concrete Finisher Length of Apprenticeship 3 years Job Description Concrete finishers help build skyscrapers, sidewalks, houses, highways, dams, and many other concrete structures. They finish horizontal surfaces such as airport and roadway pavements, floors, and foundations, and vertical surfaces such as walls, cast columns, piers, beams, and girders. Concrete finishers must be physically fit because the objects they move are often heavy and bulky. They must have manual dexterity and good eye-hand coordination. They must also have good math skills to be able to calculate things such as vertical rise or fall, squareness, and right triangles. Finishers can advance into leadership roles-such as estimators, inspectors, project managers, foremen, trade instructors, or even designers. Instruction Concrete Finishing is a block class with schooling at Waukesha County Technical College—Pewaukee or Northeast Wisconsin Technical College, Green Bay. To allow apprentices from the entire state to attend, classes are usually held for full weeks in December and January. Application Requirements
