Job description

You'd work as a painter for a company that paints new houses, repaints homes inside and out, and does bigger commercial jobs like shopping centres and childcare centres. The company has teams in Melbourne, Geelong and Colac, and a warehouse in Breakwater, so you could end up working on different sites in different suburbs. If you're already qualified you need a Certificate in Painting and Decorating and a Victorian driver's licence. If you're an apprentice, you just need to be doing or about to start an apprenticeship, and you'll be paid award rates.

The honest preview

The good

• You get a rostered day off every month plus a travel allowance on top of your pay.

What surprises people

• Some of the buildings you'd paint are shopping centres, childcare centres, and even prisons.
• Some Geelong-based team members currently travel to Melbourne for work, which is why they're now hiring people based in Melbourne too.

Industry averages for a qualified Painting Trades Worker, across all employers — not this employer’s offer, and after you finish the apprenticeship, not during.
