This is an ideal career for a creative thinker. As a tiler, you lay different types of tiles on floors and walls to provide a protective and decorative finish. You may use either ceramic, slate, marble, or stone to achieve the required finish of the job. Your role may sometimes extend to advising clients on design and structural aspects of the job.

Environment & Culture

Though tiling remains mainly a male-dominated industry, some females have taken it up in recent years. Self-employed tilers contract their services to different building companies. Tilers often find themselves working alone rather than as part of a team. Tiling is a highly competitive trade career in which a skilled tradesman can earn substantial income. There is a  high degree of job satisfaction, as you are putting the finishing touches on a particular job.
