You don’t need RV experience to succeed here. Our senior painter is ready to train and mentor the right candidate on everything RV-specific, from fiberglass and metal structure work to woodwork and roof replacements.

• Use repair and refinish products to manufacturer specifications so every repair meets factory standards
• Take repairs from start through a primed, paint-ready finish - and eventually start to final finish

What We’re Looking For

• Hands‑on painting or refinishing experience in any industry — automotive, collision, marine, aviation, industrial, fleet, or custom work
• Experience with spray primer and paint application; paint mixing station experience is a big plus
• Body shop / collision repair experience is a plus, not a requirement - we will train
• Willingness to learn RV‑specific materials: fiberglass, plastic, metal, aluminum, and wood
• Basic hand tools (we’ll help you build out the rest as you grow into the role)
• Self‑starter who can work with minimal supervision and thrives in a collaborative team environment
