Apprentice Tiler

About the Role

As an Apprentice Tiler (1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th Year) at Uniplan, you'll continue developing your trade while working alongside experienced tilers in our modern, purpose-built manufacturing facility. You'll gain valuable hands-on experience across a diverse range of modular homes and commercial buildings, building your skills in a supportive, team-focused environment.

Whether you're just starting your apprenticeship or looking to complete your final years with a reputable employer, you'll receive the guidance, mentoring and practical experience needed to become a highly skilled and qualified tradesperson.

Unlike traditional construction sites, you'll enjoy consistent hours, all-weather work and the opportunity to learn in a clean, safe and modern indoor manufacturing environment alongside experienced tradespeople.

This is an excellent opportunity to build a long-term career with Australia's leading modular builder, while contributing to high-quality residential and commercial projects.

About the Business

We’re a growing, forward-thinking business delivering high-quality modular construction solutions right here in Armidale.

At Uniplan Group, we do things differently — combining smart systems, efficient manufacturing, and a strong team culture to deliver projects faster and better.

As one of NSW’s largest modular building manufacturers and leaders in Modern Methods of Construction (MMC), we bring over 25 years of experience to everything we do. Our Armidale factory is a dynamic production environment, where buildings move through a precise, regulated ‘drum beat’ — transforming from a steel chassis into a completed, ready-to-occupy building in as little as 21 days.

As we continue to grow, we’re looking for people who want to be part of something bigger — building not just projects, but a strong future for our team and community.
