Concrete Finisher — Civil Infrastructure

Jacksonville, FL | Full-Time | Hourly

At Petticoat-Schmitt Civil Contractors, Inc., we don’t just build infrastructure — we build life-changing infrastructure. We are a privately owned, employee-owned (ESOP) civil contracting firm performing work across public and private markets within a 300-mile radius of Jacksonville, FL.

We specialize in public works, water resources (including water and wastewater treatment plants), and site development, with expertise in underground utilities, roadway construction, and related civil infrastructure.

We are seeking an experienced Concrete Finisher to join our field team supporting civil infrastructure projects throughout the region.

This position is finisher-focused. The majority of the work involves placing, finishing, and detailing concrete on structural and civil scopes. If your strength is finishing concrete to spec — not framing — this role is built for you.

What You’ll Do

Concrete Finishing Operations

• Place, consolidate, screed, and finish concrete for structural concrete, slabs, walls, basins, curbs, and civil flatwork
• Perform concrete finishing using hand and power tools to meet project specifications and quality standards
• Finish concrete surfaces including troweling, edging, jointing, and surface correction
• Monitor concrete placement for proper slump, consolidation, and finish timing
• Repair surface defects and perform patching or touch-up work as needed

Jobsite Support

• Assist with concrete placement preparation, including grade checks and site readiness
• Install embeds, sleeves, and block-outs related to concrete pours
• Safely operate hand and power tools (vibrators, grinders, saws, drills, floats, trowels)
• Work from ladders or scaffolding as required
• Maintain a clean, organized, and safe work area

Safety & Quality

• Follow Petticoat-Schmitt and OSHA safety standards at all times
• Identify, report, and correct hazards or near-miss conditions
• Take pride in craftsmanship, surface quality, and attention to detail

What We’re Looking For

Experience & Skills

• Minimum 2 years of concrete finishing experience in heavy civil, structural, or infrastructure construction
• Proven experience finishing concrete on structural or civil projects (not residential flatwork only)
• Strong understanding of concrete placement, finishing timing, and surface quality requirements
• Ability to read basic plans and understand concrete details
• Reliable, punctual, and team-oriented

Traits That Succeed Here

• Takes pride in high-quality concrete finishes
• Understands the importance of safety, preparation, and timing
• Works well as part of a crew and communicates effectively
• Comfortable working outdoors in varying weather conditions

Work Schedule & Location

• Monday–Friday, 7:00 AM – 4:00 PM
