• Run structural concrete scopes such as foundations, footings, grade beams, walls, elevated slabs, columns, and suspended systems (as applicable to the project).
• Plan and manage pour cycles including forming plans, rebar installation coordination, embeds, anchor bolts, sleeves, blockouts, and pre-pour checklists.
• Coordinate with project management on look-ahead planning (2-week and 6-week), manpower plans, material lead times, and constraint removal.
