A Concrete Pump Operator is a skilled worker in the construction industry whose primary job is to operate concrete pumping machinery to deliver concrete from ready-mix trucks to the places on a construction site where the concrete needs to be poured. This typically involves working with a boom pump or a line pump setting up the pumping system (hoses stabilizers) and coordinating with the rest of the construction crew.
Based on typical job descriptions (like in the U.S. or Europe) and adapting to the Macedonian context:
Set up of Pumping Equipment
Position and stabilize the pump truck on site.
Deploy and connect hoses and pipelines for concrete delivery.
Set up the stabilizer legs / outriggers (if boom pump) to ensure safe operation.
Operation of Concrete Pump
