Job description

Enviro-Acoustics Pty Ltd is an Australian company specialising in acoustic insulation, thermal insulation and specialised spray-applied coating systems for the building and construction industry. Through our Envirospray 300 and other specialised coating products, we provide acoustic and thermal solutions for commercial, industrial and residential construction projects. Our services focus on improving sound absorption, thermal performance and the quality of internal building environments through specialised surface preparation, plastering and coating applications.

About the role

As a Solid Plasterer, you will be responsible for surface preparation, solid plastering, rendering and the application and finishing of specialised acoustic, thermal and fire-resistant coating systems across various construction projects.

Key responsibilities

Examine construction drawings, technical specifications and project requirements to determine appropriate plastering techniques, surface preparation methods and application requirements for acoustic, thermal and fire-resistant coating systems.

Measure, mark and prepare walls, ceilings, concrete surfaces and other building substrates by cleaning, repairing and treating surfaces to ensure proper adhesion of plaster, render and specialised coating materials.

Calculate material quantities and mix plaster, cement, render and specialised coating compounds according to project specifications and manufacturer requirements.

Apply coats of plaster, cement and render to internal and external building surfaces using trowels, floats and other plastering equipment, ensuring consistent thickness, smoothness and adhesion.

Apply and finish specialised acoustic and sound-absorbing plaster-based coatings to walls, ceilings and structural surfaces to improve acoustic performance and reduce noise transmission within buildings.

Undertake the application and finishing of thermal insulation and fire-resistant coating materials on designated building surfaces using appropriate plastering and spray application techniques.

Level, straighten and smooth plastered surfaces, corners, edges and junctions, including installing corner beads, reinforcement materials and other plastering accessories where required.

Create smooth, textured and decorative finishes on plastered and coated surfaces in accordance with architectural designs, client specifications and project requirements.

Repair cracks, joints, surface imperfections and damaged plastered areas by applying suitable filling compounds, patching materials and finishing coats to achieve a uniform and professional finish.

Inspect completed plastering and coating work to ensure compliance with required thickness, surface finish, quality standards and project specifications while maintaining safe work practices and properly operating plastering and spray application equipment.
