As a screed layer you lay screeds and poured floors that form the level, solid base for the final floor covering. You set up the site, prepare the work, place insulation material and prepare the execution of the screed. You mix mortar and filler, pour and level the screed or the poured floor and finish the joints and seams neatly. You always follow the safety rules, because a good screed decides how well the whole floor turns out. The role is also known as screeder, poured floor installer or resin floor layer, and in Belgium screed layers are in steady demand on renovation and new-build sites alike.

In which sectors or environments do you work as a screed layer?
You work in the construction sector, in the shell and structural works that come before the finishing trades. Your sites range from homes and apartments to industrial buildings, both renovation and new build. The work is manual and physical, and you often work closely with plasterers, interior fitters and other finishing trades.
What is the difference between a screed layer and a screeder?
In practice both names are used for the same job. Screed layer is the general title for someone who lays the level base floor. Screeder simply emphasises the core task, pouring and levelling the screed itself, which is exactly what a screed layer does every day.
Is there demand for screed layers across Flanders?
Yes, screed layers are in steady demand across Flanders, because almost every renovation and new-build project needs a level base floor before the final covering can go down. Both construction companies and specialised floor firms regularly look for reliable screeders. Experience and a specialisation in poured or resin floors make it easier to find steady work.
