Tiler in Canberra

About the Role

For over 30 years, Copamate has built its reputation on precision, quality, and an uncompromising approach to getting the job done right. Across rail, defence, infrastructure, and automotive, the standard has never wavered. Now, Copamate is bringing that same commitment to construction and renovation, and we are looking for a skilled Wall and Floor Tiler to be part of that next chapter. This is an opportunity to join a business where quality is not a talking point but a documented, certified, lived standard, and where the work you do will be held to the same level of care that has defined Copamate across three decades. If you take pride in a clean finish and a job that holds up, you will fit here.

Key Responsibilities

• Review project plans and specifications ahead of each job to understand scope, layout requirements, and design intent before touching a surface.
• Measure and mark wall and floor surfaces accurately, planning tile arrangement to suit the space and the design.
• Prepare surfaces thoroughly, removing existing tiles, grout, and adhesive, and filling holes and cracks to achieve a clean, level base before any adhesive goes down.
• Apply adhesive evenly across prepared surfaces using appropriate tools and techniques, and set tiles in position in line with the layout plan.
• Cut and shape tiles to fit edges, corners, and around obstacles such as fittings and pipes, using tile-cutting tools to achieve a professional, seamless result.
• Monitor alignment and spacing throughout installation, using spacers to maintain consistent gaps and checking your own work at every stage rather than waiting until the end.
• Grout tiled surfaces using the correct product and colour for each project, applying evenly, removing excess cleanly, and finishing to a sharp, unblemished result.
• Apply waterproofing systems in wet areas such as bathrooms and kitchens, ensuring compliance with relevant standards.
• Lay granolithic, terrazzo, cement, or similar composition floors where project specifications require it.
• Create mosaic or patterned tile installations from coloured tiles where design specifications call for it.
• Advise clients on tile selection, design options, and post-installation care, guiding decisions with practical knowledge rather than guesswork.
• Deliver repair and maintenance services where required, protecting the longevity of completed installations.

About You

• Trade-qualified with a Certificate III in Wall and Floor Tiling or equivalent, or a minimum of three years demonstrated experience in a commercial or residential tiling environment.
• Holds, or is eligible to obtain, any required registration or licensing.
• Meticulous in your approach to surface preparation, alignment, grouting, and finishing — the details matter and you treat them that way.
• Able to read and interpret technical plans and work to design specifications without needing to be supervised through every step.
• Comfortable advising clients clearly and professionally on materials and maintenance.
• Physically fit and able to meet the demands of sustained tiling work across varying site conditions.
• Committed to safe work practices and compliance with occupational health and safety requirements on site.
