The Opportunity

KLH Enterprises is seeking an experienced Commercial Concrete Finisher who can contribute throughout the full concrete-installation process—not just complete basic broom or hand finishes.

This position is designed for a skilled craft professional with experience on commercial or industrial projects, including large slabs, foundations, footings, loading areas, and related concrete work. You will work as part of a field team focused on safety, quality, accountability, and completing projects correctly and efficiently.

This is not a residential flatwork-only position. Successful candidates must be comfortable working on larger commercial pours and using professional finishing equipment, including walk-behind power trowels.

How You Will Make an Impact

• Prepare, place, screed, finish, and protect concrete for commercial and industrial projects.
• Pull and operate screed boards to establish proper grade and elevation.
• Float, edge, hand-trowel, broom, and complete other specified finishes.
• Operate walk-behind power trowels and related concrete-finishing equipment.
• Set, level, brace, and strip forms.
• Prepare subgrade and grade stone before concrete placement.
• Install, position, and tie reinforcing steel and wire mesh.
• Assist with footings, foundations, structural slabs, loading areas, ADA ramps, and other concrete installations.
• Read basic construction drawings, elevations, dimensions, and project specifications.
• Check forms, reinforcement, grade, and elevations before concrete placement.
• Apply curing compounds and protective measures as required.
• Repair, patch, and correct concrete surfaces when needed.
• Safely operate hand tools, power tools, and field equipment.
• Work effectively around concrete trucks, pumps, excavation equipment, and active commercial jobsites.
• Maintain a clean, organized, and safe work area.
• Communicate clearly with supervisors and crew members throughout each phase of the project.

Required Qualifications and Experience

• Professional concrete-finishing experience in commercial or industrial construction.
• Demonstrated ability to finish large commercial concrete pours.
• Experience operating walk-behind power trowels.
• Ability to pull a screed board and establish proper grade.
• Experience setting forms and preparing reinforcement.
• Knowledge of concrete placement, floating, edging, troweling, broom finishing, and curing.
• Ability to perform physically demanding work outdoors and in changing weather conditions.
• Ability to follow safety procedures and jobsite instructions.
• Reliable attendance and transportation to the company shop or assigned project location.
• Ability to communicate effectively enough to work safely and follow project requirements.

Preferred Qualifications

• Five or more years of commercial concrete experience.
• Experience with footings, foundations, slabs, structural concrete, loading docks, and ADA-compliant concrete work.
• Ability to read construction drawings and identify elevations, dimensions, and concrete details.
• Experience installing and tying rebar.
• OSHA, fall-protection, lift-operation, or related safety certifications.
• Valid driver’s license.
• English-Spanish bilingual communication skills.

Compensation and Benefits

• $23–$33 per hour, based on demonstrated experience and skill level.
• Weekly pay.
• Overtime potential.
• Annual performance bonus eligibility.
• Paid holidays, vacation, and sick leave.
• Paid parental leave.
• Training and certification opportunities.
• Company-provided uniforms.
• Regular company events.
• Opportunities for increased responsibility and career growth based on performance and demonstrated skills.
