plasterer

Plasterers apply plaster made from gypsum, cement or other solutions to walls as a smooth finish. They mix dry plaster powder with water, then smear the resulting paste onto a wall. The plaster is then smoothed before it hardens and forms a solid coating on the wall.

The most in-demand skills for this role include types of plastering materials, work ergonomically, apply proofing membranes, plaster surfaces, transport construction supplies, inspect construction supplies. These are the skills O*NET identifies as most important for competent performance.

Our AI-durability model gives plasterer a score of 0.50 on a 0-1 scale (higher = more exposure). That places it at moderate AI exposure — some tasks are being automated but the role adapts. Learning to work with AI tools rather than against them is the path forward.
