Drywall Finisher (Taper)

About the job

Boarding, taping, coating and sanding. Full rooms, and repairs blended into existing walls. Most of it feeds straight into our own paint crew, so it has to leave your hands paint-ready rather than ready for an argument about whose fault the flashing is.

What you would do

• Board, tape, coat and sand full rooms
• Patch and blend repairs into existing walls without leaving a halo
• Call your own coats and know when it needs another one
• Work cleanly in houses that are still lived in

What you need

• 2+ years drywall taping and finishing experience
• Legally entitled to work in Canada
• 18 or older
• Able to lift 50 lb, work from stilts or a bench, and sand overhead
• Own transport to sites across HRM

Benefits

• Paid every two weeks by direct deposit. Tax, CPP and EI come off your pay the way they should. Not cash, and not invoicing us as a contractor while being treated as staff.
• Tools provided. You do not need to arrive with your own kit.
• Travel between jobs is paid. Drive time in the working day and setting up on a new job is on the clock.
• Indoor work, year round. Drywall does not stop for the weather, so there is no seasonal drop off and no November layoff.
• Vacation pay at 4% of gross earnings.
• Training provided. You are shown how we do things rather than left to work it out on a customer's wall.
• Boots and safety gear paid for. Up to $200 a year toward CSA-approved work boots.

How hiring works

We read every application and reply within 48 hours, including a no. You get the details in writing first: shift schedule, a typical day, targets and pay, before you come in rather than after you start. Then a 30-minute interview in person where we go through it together. If we both think it works, we sign and set your start date at that same meeting.
