Am I Suited For This Job?

You should be:

• accurate and detail-oriented, precise and patient
• creative with a good understanding of colour and proportion
• able to distinguish slight colour variations
• comfortable working at heights
• physically fit

Painters & decorators work indoors and outdoors and on construction sites. You may work alone or with a team of other construction professionals.

The work can be physically demanding – you may stand for long periods of time, often with arms raised over your head. You often work at heights from ladders and scaffolding, and many of the materials used emit hazardous fumes or suspended particles.
