Plasterer (Internal and External Walls) – Entry Level

Put your trade to work on the low-cost housing project in Epping, with steady work for the length of the project. This is a good step for someone who wants proper routine and a manager who notices good work.

This post is Epping-based, with most of your time spent at a low-cost housing project.

• Build and strip formwork for columns, beams and slabs
• Plaster walls and float them to a smooth, even finish
• Mix mortar and plaster to the right ratio for the job
• Lay face brick and plaster brick to line, level and plumb
• Fix roof trusses, purlins and brandering for ceilings

• Able to follow a foreman's instructions and read basic measurements
• Safety boots of your own for the first week, if possible
• Proven experience in at least one trade, shown by references or a practical test
• Willing to move between sites in the same city
• Physically strong enough for a full day of lifting and bending outside

• Transport from a pick-up point to site
• Weekly or fortnightly pay, always on time
• Chance to move up to a gang leader post
• PPE supplied: hard hat, gloves, reflective vest

• Say which trade you are strongest in first. "Bricklayer, 6 years, face brick" is better than "general construction".
• Be ready to do a short practical test on site. Arrive early with your own tools if you have them.
