• Perform complete site preparation activities, including layout, basic excavation support, and readiness for concrete placement.
• Install rebar and reinforcement according to project specifications and structural requirements.
• Erect, align, brace, and strip concrete wall and slab forms, ensuring they are plumb, square, and secure before pouring.
• Execute concrete pours, including coordinating with the crew, managing pour sequence, and monitoring concrete quality during placement.

• Perform concrete finishing on slabs, flatwork, and paving, including edging, jointing, and final surface finishing as required.
• Measure and mark materials accurately using tape measures and other layout tools to ensure precise form and rebar placement.
• Safely operate hand and power tools related to concrete carpentry and form setting, following all safety guidelines.
• Handle heavy lifting and physically demanding tasks associated with concrete construction and general labor on site.
• Collaborate with the field team and adapt to changing job sites and project conditions while maintaining productivity and quality.
• Travel daily to and from job sites, primarily within the Biltmore, Arcadia, and Scottsdale areas, and occasionally to locations outside the valley.

• 5+ years of concrete form setting experience, with proven ability to set tall wall forms (10+ feet) confidently and safely.
• 5+ years of concrete carpentry experience, including building, installing, and stripping forms for walls, slabs, and other structural elements.
• 5+ years of structural concrete construction experience in residential or commercial settings.
• Demonstrated experience in concrete pouring, form setting, putting forms up, and concrete finishing.

Why Work Here?

You join a company in active growth mode with a strong pipeline of work and a focus on custom, high-end residential projects. The team offers consistent opportunities to work on complex and unique pours, providing ongoing variety and skill development. When projects require longer travel outside the valley, drive time is compensated, reflecting a commitment to valuing employees time. The culture emphasizes steady work, professional growth, and collaboration on challenging, high-quality builds.

Work Environment

The work environment is field-based and dynamic, with crews rotating between different job sites as projects progress. Most work takes place on new build custom mansion homes, which make up approximately 85% of the projects, with additional commercial work adding variety. Every pour is different and often complex, requiring adaptability and attention to detail. You will meet the team directly on the job site, and for occasional projects outside the valley that involve longer travel, you may coordinate travel and start times accordingly. The role involves regular use of hand and power tools, bull floats, power concrete screeds, and standard concrete construction equipment in typical outdoor construction conditions.
