shop fitter. There is a subject in TAFE called "shopfitting"
What is the work like?
As a shopfitter, you would make and install the fixtures and fittings in shops and stores, and build and fit shopfronts, doorways and entrances. You would also refurbish other premises such as banks, offices, restaurants and bars.
You would work closely with other tradespeople like tilers, electricians and plumbers on most jobs, and your duties are likely to include:
marking out and cutting wood, metals, glass and plastics to make units and fittings in a workshop
estimating material quantities and costs, and preparing tenders and quotes for jobs
preparing design plans for a contract
measuring and setting out jobs on site, and installing the fixtures and fittings.
With experience, you might act as a workshop manager or site supervisor with responsibility to make sure that your team's work meets quality standards.
What qualifications and experience will employers look for?
To work as a shopfitter, you normally need a background in one of the construction trades, for example carpentry and joinery. For details about entry requirements for specific trades, see the job profiles for Carpenter/Joiner, Wood Machinist, Tiler and Plasterer.
You may be able to start as an apprentice with a shopfitting or building firm. To be eligible, you will need GCSEs in subjects such as maths, English and design and technology. The range of Apprenticeships available in your area will depend on the local jobs market and the types of skills employers need from their workers. For more information on Apprenticeships, visit www.apprenticeships.org.uk.
As an alternative, you could take broader college-based training courses in construction. These would give you some of the skills needed for the job, although employers may want to see some work experience. Relevant courses include:
Edexcel Introductory Certificate/Diploma in Construction
Edexcel Diploma in Construction and the Built Environment
City & Guilds Basic Skills in Construction (6217)
Intermediate/Advanced Construction Award.
See ConstructionSkills and the National Association of Shopfitters (NAS) for details about shopfitting training and qualifications. The construction trades are also being promoted as a career choice for women through the Know Your Place campaign.
What further training and development can I do?
Once you are working, you would continue to train on the job. You could take the NVQ in Wood Occupations (Shopfitting Bench Work or Shopfitting Sitework) at levels 2 and 3.
The Shopfitting Independent Training Forum offers specialised training, including contract law, estimating and site management. You can find more details through the Training section of the NAS website.
Construction Skills Certification Scheme (CSCS)
Many building contractors now insist that you have a CSCS card to work on their sites. The card is proof of your skills and competence. To get your card you must:
pass a health and safety assessment
have an NVQ or equivalent qualification. |
