Skilled Mason – Waterproofing Works

The Waterproofing Mason executes high-quality masonry works essential to waterproofing systems, including screeds, protection layers, blockwork, and plastering for roofs, podiums, basements, pools, and retaining walls. This hands-on role ensures proper slopes, levels, thicknesses, and finishes that protect membranes from damage while maintaining structural integrity and watertight performance.

Key Responsibilities

• Prepare and apply cementitious screeds, protection layers, and blinding layers over waterproofing membranes to specified thicknesses and slopes.
• Construct blockwork, dwarf walls, and kerbs around protected areas (podiums, roofs, pools) with precise alignment and waterproofing compatibility.
• Plaster and render surfaces in wet areas, basements, and retaining walls to achieve smooth, crack-free finishes ready for membrane application.
• Set out lines, levels, and falls for drainage slopes on roofs, podiums, and balconies using dumpy levels and straightedges.
• Coordinate with waterproofing technicians and supervisors to sequence screeding/protection works without damaging membranes.
• Install joint fillers, coving, and fillets at membrane terminations, penetrations, and movement joints.
• Conduct basic quality checks for levelness, compaction, curing, and screed thickness before protection layers.
• Follow method statements, drawings, and safety protocols for working at heights, chemical exposure, and heavy lifting.

Skills and Experience Required

• Minimum 3 years as a mason in waterproofing, civil, or pool construction projects in UAE/GCC.
• Strong expertise in cementitious screeds, protection layers, and plastering over waterproofing membranes (torch-on, liquid, PU foam).
• Proven ability to set out slopes/falls and work to precise tolerances (±3mm over 3m).
• Familiarity with construction drawings, waterproofing details, and basic QA/QC checklists.
• Experience protecting membranes during screeding (no punctures, tears, or foot traffic damage).
• Knowledge of curing compounds, expansion joints, and compatible mortar mixes for wet environments.
• Physically fit for repetitive lifting, working at heights, and outdoor conditions.
• Organized, responsible, attentive to detail, with good communication skills.

• High School Diploma or equivalent (Grade 10–12)
• Vocational training in masonry, plastering, or construction finishing preferred
• Manufacturer spray training certificates highly valued
