Certificates and rules

Skilled tradesmen need CIDB accreditation, which follows a construction skills certificate. An employer caught using a skilled tradesman without it can be fined up to RM 5,000 per worker, and the accreditation fee is around RM 600. All contractors must also be registered with CIDB to operate legally, and foreign workers need a work permit before they start.

Season and rain

Malaysia is hot all year, with wet and dry seasons instead of winter and summer. Heavy rain stops outdoor work on some days, so agree in advance how rain days are paid and planned. Early starts suit the heat, and plastering and painting go better in the drier weeks.

How pay is quoted and where

Pay is quoted per month in RM. The CIDB publishes a wage-rate survey as a guide for the industry, and listed pay is higher in Selangor than in Perak. Name the workplace city among Kuala Lumpur, George Town, Johor Bahru, Ipoh and Shah Alam, since pay and travel depend on it.

What to write in the request

Say the type of work (block, plaster, tiling or painting), the monthly pay you can offer in RM, the workplace city, the working hours and the experience you need. Add whether the job is a solo role or a team, the employment type, and whether accommodation is provided. Clear details mean fewer questions back.
