What We're Looking For

We're looking for someone who takes pride in their work and understands that the finishing touches matter.

Our decorators are often completing the final stage of our works before an area is handed back to the client, so attention to detail, cleanliness and achieving a professional finish are extremely important.

If you're an experienced Decorator looking for consistent work with a growing company and are happy to travel and work away when required, we'd like to hear from you.

Apply today with details of your experience and relevant qualifications.
