About the Role: Responsibilities, Skills, and Requirements
Ever wondered what it’s like to make a real, visible impact on the spaces people live, work, and gather in? At Copesta Interior Design, we’re looking for a skilled Technician for Ceramics Installation to help bring our clients’ visions to life across the Emirates. If you have at least two years of installation experience here in the UAE and are ready for your next big project, we’d love to chat — especially if you’re seeking immediate, hands-on work in a welcoming, professional environment.
About Copesta Interior Design
We’re not your average fit-out company. Based right in the heart of Al Ain’s Central District (yes, that’s the main street near ADNOC — easy to find and even easier to get to), Copesta has earned a reputation for detail-driven craftsmanship. Our team is a close-knit group: quick with coffee, creative with solutions, and relentless when it comes to making every project shine. You’ll find we strike a balance between taking pride in tradition and getting excited about the newest approaches in interiors. And yes, our lunch breaks are almost as lively as our client presentations.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Install ceramic tiles and surfaces with precision, ensuring level finishes and clean lines clients love
- Inspect job sites and prepare surfaces for tile installation, handling any repairs or adjustments required
- Apply adhesives, grout, and sealants — knowing just when to use a gentle touch and when to get things set fast
- Communicate clearly with teammates and site supervisors to coordinate tasks and prioritize safety
- Troubleshoot on the fly when unexpected issues arise — you know, when that angle just isn’t what the blueprint says
- Maintain tools and workspace, keeping everything organized and ready for the next project
- Uphold the company’s commitment to timelines and quality, even when the schedule gets challenging
What You’ll Bring
Must-Haves:
- At least 2 years’ experience installing ceramics/tiles within the UAE interior design or construction industry
- Practical know-how with tile cutting, alignment, adhesives, and finishing touches

Nice-to-Haves:
- Previous experience working with an interior design or specialized ceramics team
- Comfort using laser levels, power tools, or other advanced installation equipment

Not sure you tick every box? We’d still love to hear from you.
