How can i apply for thhis joband where?

I received my start in installation by working as an apprentice to a local hardwood installer subcontractor. After 6 months I knew the job and buisness very well and started my own Co. I had to build a strong reputation for my work abilities so I concentrated My efforts in quality verses speed. Which paid off in the end, because the expectation for quality was not being met by most local installers. It takes time,time,and more Time to build a reputation with builders and homeowners. Consistancy is Key along with understanding how people think who hire you to do installs.

You must be willing to be competive in pricing or ( bidding ) the Job sometimes less than what others charge to gain the job.

Also be willing to travel to wherever the work is most concentrated.

And last keep at it. Don't give up easily. Work is sometimes inconsistant depending on avalibility, # of installers to amount of work or ups and downs in the market of newhomes ie.construction.
