Job description

Key duties and responsibilities
  • Surface Preparation: Inspect the newly installed drywall panels, ensuring they are properly fastened and ready for taping. Clean the surface and address any issues like loose drywall or plaster to ensure optimal adhesion.
  • Apply Tape: Apply paper or fiberglass mesh tape to cover the joints where drywall panels meet to prevent cracking.
  • Apply Joint Compound: Apply multiple layers of joint compound (also called mud or spackle) over the taped seams, corner beads, and screw holes, using broad knives, or spatulas. Carefully feather out the compound to create a smooth transition between the taped area and the surrounding drywall surface.
  • Sanding and Finishing: Sand the rough areas, ensuring a smooth, seamless finish. This typically involves several rounds of applying compound and sanding to achieve the desired level of smoothness.
  • Inspecting and Repairing: Inspect work for imperfections and make any necessary repairs or touch-ups before final inspection; this might also include repairing existing drywall damage like cracks or holes.
  • Using Tools and Equipment: Proficient in using a variety of hand tools like taping knives, mud pans, and sanders. For larger jobs, power tools and specialized equipment are also required.
  • Safety Practices: Must adhere to safety protocols and maintain a clean and organized work environment, including proper tool and material storage. 
Essential skills and qualities
  • Attention to Detail: Achieving a flawless finish requires meticulous attention to detail, ensuring no seams, bumps, or imperfections are visible.
  • Dexterity: Must have excellent manual dexterity and hand-eye coordination for precision work with tools and applying compounds.
  • Physical Stamina: The work is physically demanding, involving repetitive motions, working overhead, and standing for extended periods.
  • Patience: This role involves multiple coats and drying times, requiring patience to achieve a high-quality outcome.
  • Problem-Solving: Need to be able to identify and resolve issues like uneven surfaces or structural challenges.
  • Time Management: Efficiently managing time and coordinating with other trades is crucial for meeting project deadlines.
  • Communication: Effective communication with supervisors, colleagues, and potentially clients is important for understanding requirements and addressing issues. 

Work environment
This position primarily works indoors, which can range from residential homes to large commercial buildings. The work environment is often dusty, especially during the sanding phases, and may be noisy due to other trades working nearby; workers frequently work on ladders, scaffolding, or even stilts to reach higher areas. They typically work as part of a small crew or independently to ensure projects are completed efficiently and to high standards. 
Must have a demanding blend of technical skills, physical stamina, and a strong commitment to quality craftsmanship. 
The work can be physically demanding, requiring standing, bending, reaching, and lifting heavy materials.

 We are looking for someone who can work as part of a busy team on our bigger jobs, as well as complete and manage smaller jobs on their own.
 
This role is offered on a full-time basis with the expectation of up to 40 hours of work each week. Shift hours may vary depending on factors such as business hours and staff availability, and reasonable overtime hours may be required if necessary.
Preferred:
 
· Minimum 2 years of experience;
· Driver’s license (Must have)
· Must have own tools
· Own car equipped to carry tools and ladders;
· A good understanding of workplace health and safety rules and the ability to follow safe working principles;
· Ability to liaise with other trades workers, clients, and third parties to ensure construction sites are managed to the highest level;
