Attractive pay for a job lacking candidates. This profession is learned very quickly on the job.
This job pays as much as an executive with seniority earns but does not require years of study. In this profession that is still too little known to candidates, the average salary is around 2,200 euros per month at the start of their career. A decent salary but far from what a CSP+ earns in a company except that you should know that the remuneration can very quickly rise to 4,500 euros per month! France Travail agents rarely offer this in their job offers…
To be paid more than 4,000 euros per month, you must take into account working hours and bonuses paid by the employer. Behind this high pay, you have to agree to work at night. Because, when most French people are sleeping, these professionals are keeping watch to guarantee their safety. In particular, they receive 48 euros per day as a bonus because they practice a job that can put them in danger. This essential profession which is carried out in a team but little known to job seekers, is that of road marking agent sometimes also called road marking applicator. A job invisible to the general public.
These professionals travel across France with the main mission of creating road signage, to trace the lines that guide our daily journeys: pedestrian crossings, stop signs, arrows, parking spaces or even white stripes on the roads, it’s their work. No need for long studies to join their ranks, they often learn on the job after a road construction CAP or a professional public works baccalaureate.
Behind each white line hides a real technique. Floor marking agents use very specific products and adapt their processes according to the pattern to be created. It all starts with a precise pre-marking, calculated with precision devices to guarantee perfect alignment. Then, the painting work comes to life, sometimes using motorized machines, sometimes directly on the ground, with paint guns or strips of thermoplastic resin. Both technical and artistic know-how, where every gesture counts to ensure the safety of our roads.
