If you’re a hands‑on painter who takes pride in high‑quality finishes — someone who understands that surface prep, coating thickness, and attention to detail all matter — this role was built for you.

As a Painter, you won’t just be applying paint. You’ll be protecting critical industrial equipment, supporting production flow, and ensuring pumps and parts are finished to exact standards before they’re shipped into real‑world applications.

This is a role for someone who enjoys variety, responsibility, and visible results at the end of every shift.

Why This Role Is Different

• Your work directly impacts product durability, quality, and customer satisfaction

• You’ll handle everything from prep to paint to packaging — no boring repetition

• You’ll work with industrial pumps, parts, blast booths, and material‑handling equipment

• You’ll be part of a global organization solving critical water challenges

• You’ll receive 4 weeks of PTO and full benefits starting day one

What You’ll Be Doing

• Receiving and stocking inventory for pumps and parts

• Prepping surfaces and painting pumps and components

• Operating blast booth equipment and working with various coatings and media

• Packaging and preparing orders for shipment

• Pulling parts and pump orders as needed to support production flow

• Following all company safety procedures and best practices

What We’re Looking For

• High school diploma or equivalent

• 3+ years of experience as a painter in a manufacturing or industrial environment

• Experience with wet paint applications

• Knowledge of different paint types and blast media (preferred)

• Mechanical aptitude and comfort working with industrial components

• Basic computer skills and ability to multitask

• Strong written and verbal communication skills

Preferred:

• Forklift or overhead crane experience

• Background working in shop or production environments

The Kind of Painter Who Thrives Here

You care about prep just as much as finish. You understand that paint isn’t cosmetic — it’s protection. You stay focused, follow safety practices, and take pride in sending out work that meets high standards every time.

What We Offer

• $24-$27/hour , based on experience

• 4 weeks PTO for hourly employees

• Paid holidays

• Medical, dental, and vision insurance ( eligible day one )

• Retirement savings plan with company contribution

• Paid parental leave

• Tuition reimbursement

• Career progression and development plans

• Reward and recognition programs

• Wellness program and employee discounts
