Ceiling / Partition fixer recruitment agency listing
Ceiling Fixers have an important role to play in major Construction projects, as they install suspended ceilings that are used to cover heating pipework, wiring and air conditioning systems. The job is often referred to as Interior Systems Fixer, or Partitions Fixer, with staff asked to cut and fit dry lining partitions, as well as work on ceiling panels, insulation and raised access flooring. This is a skilled role that requires the ability to use tools and understand technical plans, together with a head for heights. Specialist trades recruitment agencies tend to have qualified staff who are available for temporary work on their books.
Career path
The most common entry route into the trade is to obtain an Apprenticeship with a large construction company or an established building contractor that specialises in fit-out work. Apprentices often study towards an NVQ level 2 in Interior Systems.
Alternatively, workers can obtain employment as a Labourer with a firm involved in major projects, such as new office blocks, shopping malls and hospitals, and learn ceiling fixing skills on the job. However, they will eventually need to gain some kind of certificate to demonstrate their expertise if they wish to move to another job.
Salaries and recruitment
Construction companies have permanent positions for Ceiling and Partition Fixers, with salaries ranging from £18,000 to £27,000 PA, depending on experience. Apprentices tend to be paid around £13,000 a year.
Many firms in the industry only need these skills on a temporary basis as and when projects reach the fit-out stage.
