Interior Systems

Interior systems specialists work mostly inside, alongside other tradespeople. It's important that their work is of a high standard – it can make the difference between a good finish and a great finish.

There are great opportunities for interior systems professionals across a range of specialisations. Each has its own unique challenges and career opportunities.

Plasterboard fixing and interior plastering

Work on new builds, alterations or repairs to existing buildings by applying plaster and fixing plasterboard to walls and ceilings.

Fibrous plastering

Work in a factory environment manufacturing products. Oversee the manufacture of fixed fibrous plaster sheets and tiles. Create and install cornices, arches, fire surrounds and dados.

Suspended ceiling and interior partition installation

Fit panels or sheets of plasterboard to a suspended grid to create a suspended ceiling. Specialise in the installation of pre-made removable partitions – usually in commercial buildings or offices.

Working with interior systems isn't just a job – it's a professional career. By doing an apprenticeship and getting qualified, you're setting yourself up for ongoing employment as a well-paid tradesperson. You’ll also open up opportunities to do further study in supervision or site management, go to university, or start a business and train your own apprentices.
