Job description


Industrial Painter – Structural Steel (Weekend Shift)

Hours: 5:30AM - 5:30PM, Friday-Sunday (Work 36 hours, get paid for 40 hours)

Are you an experienced industrial painter who knows structural steel and takes pride in a clean, quality finish? Tired of chasing inconsistent hours or giving up your whole week for work?

This is a weekend shift painting structural steel, working 12-hour days Friday through Sunday — and getting paid for a full 40 hours. You get solid pay, steady work, and your weekdays free, all while doing skilled work that matters.

If you know your way around surface prep, primers, coatings, and inspections—and you care about doing it right the first time—this could be a great setup for you.

As an Industrial Painter, you will:
  • Perform industrial painting on structural steel, including:

    • Surface preparation (grinding, cleaning, sanding, masking)

    • Applying primers and industrial coatings

    • Ensuring proper film thickness, coverage, and cure times

    • Inspecting painted materials for quality, adhesion, and finish consistency

  • Maintain a clean, organized, and safe paint area

  • Work closely with production and material handling teams to meet schedules and quality standards

  • Support quality control and continuous improvement efforts

  • Operate overhead cranes or assist with material movement as needed (training provided, if required)

  • Grow your skills through on-the-job training and development

What We’re Looking For:
  • Experience painting structural steel or industrial metal products

  • Knowledge of industrial coatings, surface preparation, and paint equipment

  • Strong attention to detail and commitment to craftsmanship

  • Ability to work independently and as part of a team

  • Commitment to safety and adherence to procedures

  • Experience operating overhead cranes (remote control preferred, but not required)

  • Reliable, organized, and proactive approach to daily work

Join Us & Make an Impact!

If you’re ready to focus your skills on industrial steel painting while being part of a team that values safety, quality, and teamwork, APPLY TODAY and help us deliver work we’re proud of.

We Proudly Support and Welcome Veterans!

We value the experience, skills, and dedication that Veterans bring to our team. As a Veteran-friendly company, we are committed to providing opportunities and a supportive environment for those who have served.
