Careers

We employ our artisans rather than subcontracting them, which means we are always looking for the next pair of hands — and for the people who plan, price and manage the work behind them.

Why it is worth joining

Most finishing contractors in the Gulf hire crews per project. We do the opposite: around 200 applicators are direct employees on our own sponsorship, across the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and Qatar.

That changes what a job here is. You are trained to a manufacturer's standard and certified as an approved applicator for the systems you install. You work across a range most plasterers never touch — unfired clay, hydraulic lime, tadelakt, in-situ rammed earth, microcement, resin-bound aggregate. And you build a body of work you can point at: a museum in Madinah, a pavilion that won gold at Expo, a waterpark in Qatar.

The work is demanding and it is honest. A rammed earth wall is compacted once. A tadelakt surface is burnished in a window measured in minutes. There is no coat of paint at the end to hide a bad day.

Where we hire

Roles open and close with the project book. These are the areas we recruit into consistently — send a CV even when nothing is advertised.

What we look for

Care about the surface — the people who do well here are the ones who cannot walk past a bad junction Willingness to be trained to somebody else's standard, and certified against it Reliability on a programme: natural finishes have windows that do not move Honesty about a mistake while it can still be fixed For office roles, the ability to read a drawing and a data sheet with equal confidence

How to apply

Send a CV to the address below, with the country you are based in and the systems you have worked with. If you are an applicator, photographs of your own work say more than any CV — include them.
