Qualified Plasterer (Team Leader)

Team Leader: Internal Linings (Plastering, Ceilings & Partitions)

Aspect Plastering Services Brisbane QLD, Australia Full-time $45 to $60 per hour + Super + Fuel card

Ever Been the Best on Site, But Never the One They Backed to Lead?

It sounds simple, but for most tradies, it never happens.

I get it, because I've been there.

Back when I was on wages, I'd deliver top-quality work but still feel like just another cog in the machine. Appreciation was rare, ideas were ignored, and there was always talk of "stepping up" that never went anywhere. No plan, no backing, no title. Just more responsibility for the same pay. I knew something had to change. Even when I jumped to a new company for more money, same old story, different gig.

Sound familiar?

If you're a gun on the tools who's ready to run a site, not just work on one, this could be the change you've been looking for. But only if you're up for the challenge.

Good tradies are everywhere. People who can lead a crew, hold a standard and keep a job on its hours are rare. We're chasing the best, not just anyone looking for a start on Monday.

And because good leaders usually know other good plasterers, we pay a $3,500 referral bonus (upon successful completion of a 3 month probationary period).

The Role in One Line

You look after your crew. The Project Manager looks after you.

You'll run a crew of 2 to 4 on residential and commercial internal linings jobs: plastering, ceilings & partitions and insulation. From the moment the Project Manager hands you the plan, the site is yours. Set the day's work, hold the quality, keep the job tracking on its hours.

This is hands-on leadership. You're on the tools with the crew, not carrying a clipboard.

And you get real authority with clear guardrails. Without asking anyone, you:

• Set the crew's daily sequence and allocate the work
• Fix quality issues on the spot
• Coordinate day-to-day with site supervisors
• Stop unsafe work, no questions asked
• Hold the crew to the standard

What We’re Looking For

What We're Looking For

• Solid hands-on experience in internal linings: plastering, ceilings & partitions and/or insulation
• You've led or supervised a small crew on site, formally or as the one everyone already answered to
• Can read plans and set out work accurately from a scope and drawings
• Confident dealing directly with site supervisors, builders and other trades
• Sound working knowledge of site safety obligations
• Comfortable with job management software (we run AroFlo), or the willingness to learn it fast
• Valid driver's licence and a reliable, fit-for-purpose vehicle
• Organised and reliable: turns up on time, holds the standard, doesn't walk past poor work
• Reside within 12km of Brisbane CBD (applications outside this area will be considered).
