You should be comfortable with residential and commercial painting work, including prep, brushing, rolling, masking, spraying, ladders, cleanup, and jobsite professionalism. Cabinet experience, fine-finish work, and exterior repaint experience are all strong pluses.

This is not an entry-level role. We want someone who already understands the trade and wants to work with a company that values consistency, clean work, communication, and production.

• Performance-based pay growth opportunities
• Opportunity to move into lead painter or crew leadership roles
• Opportunity to work on higher-value projects
• Growth within a company focused on systems and long-term development
• Potential for added responsibilities and advancement over time
• Competitive pay based on experience and production
• Opportunity for steady work
• Growth path into leadership roles
• Work with an organized company and defined systems
• Opportunity to work on a variety of residential and commercial projects
• Team environment with room to grow

Responsibilities

• Complete professional-quality prep and paint work
• Handle masking, spraying, brushing, rolling, and finish work
• Maintain clean lines, proper coverage, and strong production standards
