Construction Opportunity: Painters and Decorator

Painters and decorator Current Vacancies

2007-03-06:

Painters and decorators work on all types of buildings and structures.
Decorators use a variety of different tools depending on the job, including paint spraying equipment, blow torches, steamers, and different sized brushes and rollers.
They use these to apply a range of materials and finishes such as solvents, paints, varnishes and wall coverings.
On a typical job, surface areas are measured beforehand to work out how much paint or wall covering is required.
Paint finishes are normally mixed to the required shade either by hand or using computerised colour-matching equipment.
Painters and decorators may also apply more complex finishes to a job including Artex work, rag-rolling, graining and marbling.
Some painters can train to specialise in restoration work once qualified.
Painters and decorators normally work 39 hours a week, Monday to Friday.
Painters and decorators often work from ladders or raised platforms.
Decorators travel from site to site, so a driving licence is useful.
Painters and decorators are employed by building or specialist painting contractors, or by organisations such as local authorities and hospitals as part of a maintenance team.
Some companies have particular specialisms such as Artexing, special effects or heavy industrial painting.
There may be opportunities to work abroad on contracts. Decorators with supervisory duties or specialist skills can earn over 21,000 a year.
Overtime and shift allowances supplement income, while self-employed painters and decorators negotiate their own rates. (Permalink)
