**Bricklaying Apprenticeship Mona Vale.**

Are you looking for a career that can take you places?

Do you prefer a more hands-on approach - and what's more practical than building things? A bricklayer is constantly engaged in work with their hands and is able to see and touch, what they create. As an activity, bricklaying is tangible, satisfying and a highly practical form of work.

**How do Bricklayers work?**

As a bricklayer you may work at heights and will generally work outdoors. On occasion you may have contact with the public and more often than not, you’ll be working as part of a team. You could be employed by bricklaying subcontractors and building and construction companies; or you might decide to be your own boss, and become a self-employed tradesperson. A qualification in bricklaying is one of only two construction trades that can go on to become a registered builder. Whatever form your employment takes, there’s a couple of inbuilt things that help make someone a really good bricklayer.

**Bricklayer Skills**

However, if you’re thinking all a bricklayer does is lay brick after brick - then think again There’s more to being a bricklayer than meets the eye. In fact, a single bricklaying project calls upon a variety of skills.

**These include**:

- Reading and working from plans and specifications.
- Sealing foundations with damp-resistant materials.
- Spreading layers of mortar to serve as a base and binder for bricks in rows, designs or shapes; and spreading mortar between joints.
- Repairing and maintaining clay bricks, cement blocks / bricks and related structures.
- Operating brick-cutting machines.

**Apprentice must-haves**:
