Job Description: Skilled Tiler for Oxford Projects
Quick Placement is partnering with a number of respected construction firms, property developers, and specialist contractors in the Oxford OX1 area who require experienced Tiler professionals for a variety of projects. These range from high-end residential refurbishments in historic properties to modern commercial fit-outs and new-build developments. As a leading construction recruitment specialist, we understand the precision and skill required for quality tiling work. Our clients trust us to provide reliable, skilled tradespeople who can deliver on time and to a high standard, minimising delays and ensuring client satisfaction on every job.
This is an excellent opportunity for a Tiler looking for consistent work with a professional agency that handles the admin, chases payments, and supports your career development. Unlike generic job boards, we offer a personal service. You'll have a dedicated consultant who gets to know your skills, preferences, and availability, matching you with the most suitable tiling jobs in Oxford. Whether you're between contracts, looking to top up your income, or seeking a pathway to a permanent role with a great company, registering with Quick Placement opens doors. We also recruit for complementary roles like Carpenters and General Labourer positions, offering variety if you have multiple skills.
Key Responsibilities & Daily Duties
As a Tiler placed through Quick Placement in Oxford, your core responsibilities will be to execute tiling work to specification, ensuring durability, aesthetic appeal, and client satisfaction. You will be expected to:
- Surface Preparation: Accurately measure, mark, and prepare walls and floors, ensuring substrates are level, clean, sound, and ready to receive tiles. This includes applying appropriate primers, waterproofing membranes, and backer boards as required.
- Tile Installation & Cutting: Expertly fix tiles using adhesive (thin-set, cementitious, or epoxy), employing correct techniques for the tile material (ceramic, porcelain, natural stone, mosaic). Precisely cut and shape tiles using manual cutters, wet saws, and angle grinders to fit around obstacles, outlets, and corners.
- Grouting & Finishing: Apply grout evenly, ensuring full joint coverage, and clean excess grout from tile surfaces before it sets. Apply sealants to grout lines and porous tiles (like natural stone) where specified, providing a protective and finished appearance.
- Pattern Layout & Design Implementation: Plan and set out tile work from the centre or a focal point, ensuring patterns (brick, herringbone, geometric) are symmetrical and borders are straight. Follow detailed design drawings and client instructions for feature walls or decorative inserts.
- Quality Control & Site Standards: Maintain a clean, safe, and organised work area. Conduct final inspections of your work, rectifying any minor defects. Adhere strictly to all health and safety regulations on site, including the use of PPE and safe handling of tools and materials.
Essential Skills & Requirements
To be successful in these Tiler positions in Oxford, candidates must demonstrate a proven track record and possess the following:
- Proven Experience & Portfolio: Minimum of 3 years of professional tiling experience, with a portfolio or references showcasing completed domestic and/or commercial projects. Experience with a variety of tile types and sizes is essential.
- Technical Proficiency & Own Tools: Comprehensive knowledge of tile adhesives, grouts, and preparation materials. Must possess a reliable, high-quality set of hand tools (trowels, levels, spacers, cutters) and power tools appropriate for the trade.
- Attention to Detail & Precision: A keen eye for detail, ensuring lines are straight, corners are square, grout lines are even, and the finished surface is perfectly flat and free of lippage. Patience and pride in craftsmanship are non-negotiable.
- Reliability & Professionalism: Punctual, reliable, and able to work independently or as part of a site team. Excellent communication skills to interact with site managers, clients, and other trades like plumbers and electricians. A full UK driving licence and own transport are highly advantageous for getting to sites across Oxfordshire.
Salary, Pay & Benefits for Oxford Tilers
We believe in fair, transparent, and competitive compensation for skilled trades. When you work as a Tiler through Quick Placement in Oxford OX1, you benefit from our strong relationships with top employers.
- Competitive Hourly/Daily Rates: Earn between £18 - £25+ per hour, or £150 - £220+ per day, depending on your experience, specialism (e.g., heritage restoration, large-format porcelain), and the project's complexity. Rates are agreed upfront, with no hidden deductions.
- Weekly Pay & Hassle-Free Admin: Get paid reliably every week. We handle timesheets, invoicing the client, and ensuring you receive your payment directly and on time, so you can focus on your craft.
- Flexible Work Patterns: Choose assignments that suit your life. We have roles for short-term projects, ongoing contracts, part-time hours, or full-time temp-to-perm positions, giving you control over your schedule.

Frequently Asked Questions for Tilers
How quickly can I start working as a Tiler in Oxford OX1?
Very quickly. Many of our Tiler roles are for an immediate or ASAP start. Once you complete our streamlined registration process, which can often be done within 24 hours, we can place you on a site. We specialise in rapid placement for urgent project needs, much like our service for solar roofers and other in-demand trades.
Do I need my own tools and transport?
Yes, for most Tiler positions, you will be expected to provide your own professional-grade hand tools (trowels, levels, cutters, etc.). Power tools like mixers and wet saws are sometimes provided by the client, but it's best to confirm this during the placement discussion. Having your own reliable transport is highly recommended as sites across Oxfordshire can be spread out and public transport may not be practical with tools.
What kind of tiling projects will I work on?
The projects vary widely, offering great variety. You could be working on luxury bathroom renovations in North Oxford homes, tiling commercial kitchen floors for new restaurants in the city centre, installing splashbacks in student accommodation blocks, or laying large-format porcelain in office lobbies. We match your specific experience and interests to the most suitable projects.
Is the work temporary only, or are there permanent options?
We offer both. Many roles start as temporary contracts to cover specific project phases or peak workloads. However, a significant number of these are"temp-to-perm" opportunities, where the client uses the temporary period to assess your fit with a view to offering a direct, permanent position. We are always transparent about the potential for permanency from the outset.
How does payment work with Quick Placement?
You are paid weekly by Quick Placement, not the end client. You submit your timesheet (usually digitally) at the end of the week. We invoice the client and, upon receipt of funds, process your payment directly to your bank account. This system ensures you get paid reliably even if the client's internal payment processes are slow. All pay rates, holiday accrual, and payment schedules are clearly explained in your terms of engagement.
Can I register if I have experience but no formal qualifications?
Absolutely. While formal NVQ qualifications are valued, we place a much higher emphasis on proven, hands-on experience and a strong portfolio of work. Your skill level, attention to detail, and reliability are the primary factors our clients care about. We assess this through your work history, references, and our initial consultation. For more information on our vetting, see our FAQs page.
