About the Business

Bright Builders Group Australia Pty Ltd is a building and construction company based in Manor Lakes, in Melbourne’s western growth corridor. The business delivers building works across a changing program of project sites, and its work depends on sound trade practice, accurate finishes and reliable completion of each stage of a build. As a small, owner-led operation, the company values workmanship, safe work habits, punctuality and direct communication, and offers a workplace where each tradesperson’s contribution is visible in the finished product and where the Director is closely involved in the day-to-day running of every job.

- Create decorative textures and finishes in finishing coats in accordance with project specifications.
- Erect, use and dismantle work platforms and trestles needed to reach work surfaces safely.
- Read plans and specifications to determine material requirements, sequencing and the finishes required on each job.
- Protect adjoining surfaces, fixtures and completed work, and clean tools, equipment and work areas at the end of each task.
- Follow workplace health and safety requirements on each site, including the protected handling of cement-based materials and the control of dust.

Requirements
