The work

The work

The tasks come from O*NET (United States) and ESCO (Europe), the world's two occupation databases. How the work is done can differ in Uganda; our team adds the local way where it does.

  1. 1

    Check the forms that hold the concrete to see that they are properly constructed.

  2. 2

    Set the forms that hold concrete to the desired pitch and depth, and align them.

  3. 3

    Spread, level, and smooth concrete, using rake, shovel, hand or power trowel, hand or power screed, and float.
