This role also involves leading a cement-finishing crew, estimating costs, and maintaining records and a database for gunite backlog. It requires one year of experience operating pneumatic power equipment, including a gunite nozzle, and possession of a valid California Class A or B Driver License and a recent DMV medical certificate.
