Attentive to detail, you use all the tricks of your skilled trade to apply each type of wall covering in the proper way. Well-versed in techniques like double cutting, booking, and trimming, you are methodical and precise. Occasionally, you step back to admire the effect, and there's no denying that you're a wiz in your skilled trade. You can't help but be proud of your ability to breathe new life into a room!

• 3+ years of experience OR an equivalent combination of education and experience
• Experience with commercial-grade products and pasting machines
• Knowledge about various wall coverings, such as grasscloth, foil, fabric, and murals
• Mathematical proficiency
• Technological proficiency, including email, internet, and camera skills

If yes, you might just be perfect for this wallpaper hanging position!
