Hard Tile Setter Jobs

A Hard Tile Setter is a professional who installs hard materials, such as granite, marble, ceramic, and glass, on walls, ceilings, countertops, and floors. They measure and cut tiles, use mortar and grout to fix the tiles in place, and ensure that the tiles are properly aligned. Essential skills for a Hard Tile Setter include attention to detail, physical strength, and precision. They should also have excellent measurement and calculation skills as well as understand the principles of color and design. Certifications, such as Certified Tile Installer (CTI) by the Ceramic Tile Education Foundation, are beneficial for better job prospects.

Before becoming a Hard Tile Setter, individuals often start in entry-level positions within the construction industry. Roles such as a Construction Laborer or a Carpenter could provide the necessary experience of working with different materials and using various tools. Some may also begin their careers as Tile and Marble Setters' Helpers, assisting experienced setters in measuring, cutting, and installing tiles, thereby gaining hands-on experience and knowledge about the trade. This role can also provide the opportunity to complete a tile setting apprenticeship, which is another common pathway into this profession.
