FULL-TIME EXPERIENCED TILE SETTER / TILE INSTALLER
Whidbey Island | $35+/hr DOE | Full-Time

We are looking for a highly skilled, dependable Tile Setter to join our growing team. We take pride in delivering high-end craftsmanship and are seeking an experienced installer who values quality work, professionalism, and attention to detail.

This position is ideal for a tile professional who is confident in all phases of tile installation — from prep and waterproofing to layout and finish work — and who can consistently produce clean, accurate, high-quality results. 

Our projects focus heavily on high-end residential work, where quality and craftsmanship matter. We prioritize doing the job right and maintaining a professional standard on every project.

Responsibilities:
• Measure, cut, and install tile accurately and efficiently
• Prepare surfaces and ensure proper layout and installation methods
• Install floors, walls, showers, backsplashes, and other tile applications
• Maintain clean, organized, and safe job sites
• Communicate effectively with project managers and team members
• Complete projects on schedule without sacrificing quality

Compensation & Benefits:
• $35.00/hour and up depending on experience and qualifications
• PTO, vacation, and holiday pay
• 401(k)
• Company vehicle or gas allowance

Work Environment:
Projects include both existing and new residential/commercial work throughout the Whidbey Island area. Travel is typically local and during normal business hours.

How to Apply:
Please submit your resume and a brief summary of your tile installation experience and qualifications.
