Working as a drywall installer in France
Search for plaquiste, plâtrier-plaquiste, poseur de cloisons, jointeur or monteur en cloisons sèches et faux plafonds. The trade is not regulated, but employers recognise the CAP Plâtrier-plaquiste and the Brevet Professionnel Plâtrerie et plaque. Work follows French technical standards (DTU) and the system specifications of board manufacturers, which site managers check at handover. A CACES certificate may be required to operate certain lifting platforms, and scaffolding assembly calls for specific training. Many plaquistes work as subcontractors or through temp agencies, and contractors on offices, hotels or hospitals expect installers to know the fire and acoustic rating each partition must reach.
