Terrazzo Mechanic

Terrazzo Mechanics install terrazzo floors, medallions, countertops, steps, etc., according to blueprints or other instructions. They are responsible for layout and installation of, floating beds, divider strips, pattern designs etc. Other duties include pouring, rolling, grinding, polishing and repair of terrazzo.

Terrazzo’s life cycle costs makes it the desirable choice for high traffic areas such as universities, hospitals, airports and sports venues.

An apprentice, with Terrazzo Finisher experience, enters our Mechanic program at a rate of 62.5% of the current journeyman rate. The apprentice must attend all scheduled classes and complete all assignments.

Once the apprentice has  accrued 900 work hours and 80 school hours they will become eligible for an increase. This process continues for each increase.

They should complete our program in three years (4500 on-the-job hours).

The Terrazzo Mechanic school is located at the Mason Development Center in Tracy.
