Carpet Layer
Visa sponsorship
Trade · Auckland, New Zealand · Full-Time · Discussed at interview · Visa: Employer sponsored
Auckland has a family-run flooring company, linked to a national flooring network, that is after a skilled carpet layer ready to stay. It treats customers and staff well, and the quality of its workmanship is what it trades on. As an Accredited Employer, it is able to sponsor migrant workers.
A normal day starts at one base and moves between homes and commercial sites, doing installs for the company and its sister store. Hours are Monday to Friday, plus a couple of Saturdays each month. Part of the job is teaching: an apprentice works in the crew, and the new layer will pass on their skills.
A carpet layer's CV should name the types of carpet you have fitted, the jobs you have handled alone and any tickets you hold. If you are applying from Nairobi, use Build AI CV to set out your flooring CV before you apply.
