Job description

This summer, don’t settle for a job that only pays the bills — take one that builds your career. I’m expanding my painting business from $200K → $450K this year, and I’m hiring 2 driven, competitive students to step into leadership roles as Production Managers.

This isn’t your typical summer job. You’ll be running your own mini-business, managing crews, leading clients, and being mentored directly by the business owner. You’ll finish the summer with more experience, confidence, and leadership ability than most people have by graduation.

If you’re someone who thrives on challenge, growth, and impact — this role is built for you.

What You’ll Actually Do

• Lead and manage a crew of 4–8 painters
• Oversee $50K - $100K + worth of real client projects
• Conduct estimates, manage job quality, and deliver client satisfaction
• Recruit, train, and motivate your own team
• Master sales, leadership, and project management
• Handle real-world challenges — and grow every single week

You’ll be trained, coached, and supported through it all. No experience required — just hunger and a coachable attitude.

We’re not looking for average.

• Ambitious, competitive university students
• Organized problem-solvers with leadership potential
• Access to a full time vehicle (required for client visits) -> MUST HAVE
• Individuals who take ownership, seek growth, and want to see their effort translate into real results.

When you will be working

• Preseason - January - April, 10-15hrs/week
• Full Time - Summer - May - August , 40+hr/week

Where you will be working

Durham Region -> Ajax, Pickering, Brooklin, Whitby, Oshawa.

Compensation

Paid leadership role with structured bonuses and commission opportunities tied to performance and project results.

If you’re the type of person who’s first to raise your hand, leads the group project, or wants to build something real — this is your environment.

You won’t be fetching coffee.

You’ll be making real decisions, leading real people, and managing real projects.

Every day, you’ll see the direct impact of your work — and develop the mindset, communication, and leadership skills that make people say:“That’s someone going places.”

This isn’t just a summer job — it’s a launchpad.
