Fence Erector Jobs

A Fence Erector in the construction industry is responsible for planning, designing, and installing fences and gates of various types for both residential and commercial properties. They have to read and interpret blueprints, determine the materials needed, and ensure the safety and durability of the structures. They also perform maintenance and repairs of existing fences. The job requires a high level of physical stamina as it often involves heavy lifting and working in harsh weather conditions.

Important skills for a Fence Erector include a good understanding of construction principles, mathematical ability for precise measurements, and excellent hand-eye coordination for handling tools and materials. They should also have strong problem-solving skills to troubleshoot any issues that arise during installation. Safety is crucial in this role, therefore, certification in First Aid and a Construction Skills Certification Scheme (CSCS) card are typically required. Prior to becoming a Fence Erector, a person may gain experience in roles such as a Construction Laborer, Carpenter, or General Maintenance Worker.
