We are looking for a skilled and dependable Plaster Mason to join our construction team and support residential, commercial, and renovation projects. The ideal candidate has hands-on experience preparing surfaces, mixing plaster materials, and applying smooth or textured finishes to walls, ceilings, partitions, and other structural surfaces. This role requires strong attention to detail, physical stamina, knowledge of construction safety standards, and the ability to work efficiently both independently and as part of a crew.
A Plaster Mason plays an important role in the finishing phase of construction by creating durable, level, and visually appealing surfaces. You will be responsible for inspecting work areas, selecting the right materials, preparing backgrounds such as brick, concrete, drywall, or lath, and applying plaster, stucco, or similar compounds according to project specifications. The position may involve new construction, restoration work, patching damaged surfaces, and decorative plaster applications depending on the needs of the project.
Successful candidates understand how to measure and mix materials accurately, use hand and power tools safely, and achieve high-quality finishes within project deadlines. You should be comfortable reading blueprints or work instructions, coordinating with supervisors and other trades, and maintaining a clean and organized worksite. Experience with scaffolding, surface leveling, corner finishing, and moisture-resistant applications is highly valued.
In this role, you may work indoors or outdoors in varying weather and site conditions. The job often involves lifting materials, standing for long periods, climbing ladders, bending, and performing repetitive motions. A commitment to craftsmanship, reliability, and workplace safety is essential. Candidates who can identify surface defects, recommend repair methods, and maintain consistent finish quality across large areas will be especially successful.
This opportunity is ideal for someone who takes pride in precision work and wants to contribute to high-quality building outcomes. Whether working on homes, offices, schools, hospitals, or restoration sites, the Plaster Mason helps ensure that finished surfaces meet structural, functional, and aesthetic expectations. If you are experienced in plaster application, surface preparation, and finishing techniques, and you are ready to be part of a professional construction environment, we encourage you to apply.
