Narrator: Qualified flooring specialists provide safe and quality flooring for residential and commercial buildings.
There are two different career paths that you can choose from: flooring installation, and floor planning and design.
Work as a flooring installer is mostly indoor based and can involve new building projects, renovations, or when customers just want a room rejuvenated. They install and replace flooring products from carpet, laminates, wood and veneer finishes.
At the moment there's huge demand for qualified flooring installers, and there are companies out there looking to take people on to train.
There's also opportunities within a retail environment. Floor planning and design specialists help suggest flooring options and then suggest, estimate and order flooring.
Careers in the industry can progress to managing teams, retail management, and owning your own business, and it's a great qualification to travel with.
If you've already been working in the trade for some time, and or you've been trained and worked professionally overseas BCITO offers excellent opportunities to recognise your skills and get qualified.
A good attitude will take you a long way in this industry, and no day is ever the same. Check if you're eligible. Getting qualified could be fees free.

What are the chances of getting a job?

Growth in building work means good opportunities for flooring installers

Chances of getting a job as a flooring installer are good due to:

a regional shortage of flooring installers in Auckland, Queenstown and Waikato
vacancies occurring when experienced flooring installers progress into sales or business ownership
moderate growth in construction predicted to extend until at least the end of 2023, meaning more flooring installation work
the Government’s KiwiBuild programme, involving the building of quality affordable homes over the next decade
building work needed to upgrade leaky homes and earthquake-prone building.

The Christchurch post-earthquake rebuild is ongoing but most of the remaining work is in the non-residential (commercial) sector.
