Tile Setter Assistant information

What are Tile Setter Assistants?

Tile Setter Assistants are entry-level construction workers who help professional tile setters with the installation of tiles on floors, walls, and other surfaces. Their duties often include preparing surfaces, mixing adhesives or grout, carrying materials, cleaning up work areas, and cutting tiles under supervision. They play a crucial role in supporting the tile installation process and ensuring that projects are completed efficiently. Tile Setter Assistants may also learn advanced skills on the job, which can lead to becoming a full tile setter over time.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Tile Setter Assistant, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Tile Setter Assistant, you need basic knowledge of construction practices, physical stamina, attention to detail, and often a high school diploma or equivalent. Familiarity with tools such as tile cutters, trowels, mixing equipment, and safety gear is common, though formal certifications are typically not required. Reliability, a strong work ethic, and the ability to follow instructions are essential soft skills for success in this role. These skills ensure efficient job site support, high-quality workmanship, and a safe working environment.

What are some common challenges faced by Tile Setter Assistants, and how can they be overcome?

Tile Setter Assistants often encounter challenges such as handling heavy materials, working in awkward or confined spaces, and maintaining precision when preparing surfaces or mixing adhesives. To overcome these challenges, it’s important to develop good lifting techniques, stay organized on the job site, and communicate clearly with the lead tile setter. Adhering to safety protocols and seeking guidance from experienced team members can also help assistants quickly build their skills and confidence.

What is the difference between Tile Setter Assistant vs Tile Setter?

The Tile Setter is responsible for the complete installation process, requiring more skills and expertise. Both roles are essential in tile installation projects, with the assistant serving as a learning position and the setter executing the primary work.

ABOUT THE COMPANY

Ed and Margie Imo began their journey to St. Louis pizza history as a pair of young, hardworking St. Louisians who fell in love, started a family and dreamt of owning their own home.

As devoted Catholics, they would wait until 11:30 every Friday night to order a meat-topped pizza from one of the many Italian restaurants near their home on The Hill in St. Louis. After years of picking up their pizzas safely after midnight, a simple idea launched a phenomenon…

“Wouldn’t it be nice if someone would deliver the pizza to us?”

They opened their first pizza parlor in 1964 at Thurman and Shaw Avenues in St. Louis. It was open evenings only, offering pick-up and delivery. Ed continued to work as a tile setter, slicing squares of linoleum by day and pizza by night. Their first kitchen consisted of a used oven, two refrigerators and a stove they purchased for $75.


With no experience in retail and little experience in cooking, the Imos fueled their vision with stamina and determination. They hired a pizza chef to prepare the South St. Louis-style pizza they loved, using Provel®® cheese instead of mozzarella on that famous thin crust. Marge answered the phone and prepped the salads, and the pair used an old tackle box as their first cash register.

People all around the neighborhood were simply amazed that they could have dinner delivered right to their door, and the idea didn’t take long to catch on. Nine months after opening the first store, they opened another, and another…and then another. By 1985 they had 30 stores and opened up the business to franchisers.

The children of Ed and Marge are now running the day to day operations of Imo’s and they are poised for rapid growth. This is due to the recent relocation of their franchise operation to a new 72,000 square foot warehouse and 10,000 square foot office at the new headquarter at 17th and Delmar in downtown St. Louis. The 96 stores should increase to well over 100 in the next year.
