Expansion Joint Systems Australia is a specialist subcontractor installing expansion joints, fire seals and waterproofing on commercial, healthcare and infrastructure projects across Sydney. We work for Tier 1 and Tier 2 builders on major projects including hospitals, metro stations and high-rise towers. We’re a small team that runs on good systems. We’re looking for an installer who cares about how the work gets done as much as getting it done.
The role
- You’ll be part of a site crew installing expansion joint, fire seal and waterproofing systems, working under the direction of our lead installers.
- Your job is to make sure every area you work on is finished properly and ready to hand over:
- Installing expansion joint, fire seal and waterproofing systems to spec and to tolerance
- Following our install methods and site processes, from prestarts and SWMS through to task records
- Checking your own work as you go so it’s right the first time
- Flagging issues early (damaged substrates, clashes, missing materials) to your lead installer
- Keeping materials, tools and work areas organised so the crew can work efficiently
- Suggesting better ways of doing things when you see them
- Working at heights using EWPs, scaffolds and harnesses (sometimes)
Who we’re looking for
- We want someone who looks at a job and thinks about the whole picture. You understand why a process exists, you follow it, and you speak up when you see a better way.
- You measure your day by what’s finished and handed over, rather than how busy you were.
- You’ll suit this role if you:
- Think ahead about what’s needed to finish an area, rather than just the next task
- Take ownership of quality and don’t need someone checking behind you
- Like having a clear process and are happy to help shape it
- Communicate well with your lead installer, the builder and the rest of the crew
- Have construction experience, ideally in expansion joints, fire stopping, waterproofing, carpentry or metalwork
Tickets and requirements
- White Card (required)
- Working at Heights and EWP (Yellow Card), or willing to get them
- Current driver’s licence and reliable transport
What we offer
- $35-$50/hr, depending on experience
- Steady work on major Sydney projects (some regional travel may be required on occasion)
- Full training in expansion joint and fire seal systems
- All tools are supplied, no need to bring anything except a great attitude and a pair of hands
- A real say in how we run our jobs, and room to grow into a lead installer role
