Microcement & Venetian Finishes

We are an established, multi-generational rendering company with over 40 years of experience in the industry, delivering high-quality rendering and architectural finishes across South East Queensland.

We are seeking a reliable and detail focused Architectural Finishes Preparation Technician to join our specialist finishes team.

This role supports the delivery of high end Microcement, Venetian plaster and architectural finishes, with a strong focus on surface preparation, protection and finishing processes.

You do not need to be an experienced Microcement or Venetian applicator. We are looking for someone who is careful, organised, takes pride in their work and understands that attention to detail is critical when working on high end projects.

Key Responsibilities

Protect floors, cabinetry, tiles, windows, fixtures and surrounding finished surfaces

Accurately tape and mask areas prior to application

Prepare work areas for Microcement and Venetian applications

Apply primers and bonding products

Assist with and apply base coats where required

Sand Microcement, Venetian and associated preparation coats

Complete detailed hand sanding to edges, corners and difficult areas

Vacuum and clean surfaces between application stages

Apply sealers and protective coatings

Remove tape and protection carefully without damaging completed finishes

Re-protect completed Microcement and Venetian surfaces for following trades

Maintain clean and organised work areas

Assist specialist applicators throughout the application process

Follow specified product systems and application procedures

Identify preparation or substrate issues before finishes are applied

Maintain a high standard of quality control throughout each stage

What We're Looking For

The ideal person will be:

Extremely detail oriented and patient

Comfortable working on high-end residential and commercial projects

Able to follow detailed processes and instructions

Reliable and punctual

Clean and organised in their work

Confident using sanders and basic power tools

Comfortable completing repetitive and detailed preparation work

Able to work independently and as part of a specialist finishes team

Conscious of protecting surrounding surfaces and completed work

Willing to learn specialist Microcement and Venetian systems

Experience in painting, plastering, rendering, sanding, surface preparation, automotive preparation, cabinetry finishing or similar trades would be highly regarded but is not essential.

The Role

This is an important position within our specialist finishes team. Microcement and Venetian finishes are completed on high value surfaces where preparation, protection and attention to detail are just as important as the final application.

The successful candidate will initially focus on protection, preparation, priming, base coats, sanding and sealing, with the opportunity to develop their skills and progress into more specialised Microcement and Venetian application work over time.

We are looking for someone who takes pride in producing an exceptionally clean, consistent and professional result.
