Job description

Role Overview

As a Painter, Integrated Facilities Management, you'll deliver high-quality painting and surfacerepair work across assigned properties to support timely, efficient unit turns and facility upkeep. You'll complete repaints, touch-ups, and drywall repairs with strong attention to detail, maintain organized and wellstocked paint operations, and collaborate with service teams to meet daily goals. This role requires routine travel between properties and a focus on safety, quality standards, and continuous improvement. 

Painting & Repair Execution 

  • Complete full-unit repaints or touch-up paints each day (typically one full repaint or two touch-ups per day, based on workload expectations). 
  • Perform drywall repairs, including patching, sanding, and texture matching. 
  • Execute paint prep work, surface repairs, priming, and finish applications for both interiors and exteriors. 
  • Match, mix, and apply coatings using brush, roller, and spray equipment; follow spray equipment maintenance protocols. 
  • Support timely and high-quality completion of unit turns and projects, contributing to operational efficiency and improved success rates. 
  • Travel regularly between assigned properties to support portfolio-wide painting needs. 

Quality, Standards & Maintenance 

  • Maintain a consistently high standard of workmanship that reflects organizational expectations for appearance, durability, and professional presentation. 
  • Ensure the paint shop is clean, well-organized, stocked, debris-free, and opened/closed according to established procedures. 
  • Keep all painting tools and spray equipment in excellent condition, performing routine maintenance and identifying repair needs promptly. 
  • Follow proper safety protocols, including OSHA, MSDS, and elevated-work procedures. 
  • Proactively report issues affecting schedule, material availability, quality, or timely completion of tasks. 

Collaboration, Communication & Process Improvement 

  • Collaborate with Service Managers and service teams to meet daily goals and align on priorities. 
  • Offer process-improvement recommendations that enhance efficiency, reduce waste, support green practices, or elevate overall painting operations. 
  • Identify and communicate training needs or resource gaps to leadership to ensure timely, high-quality performance. 
  • Document all completed work, materials used, and follow-up needs in the CMMS; communicate clearly with residents or building occupants when relevant. 
  • Demonstrate strong reliability and autonomy by working effectively with minimal supervision. 

Qualifications

  • High school diploma or equivalent. 
  • 2+ years of interior residential painting experience; custom home painting experience is a plus. 
  • Valid driver's license and ability to travel between assigned properties; vehicle insurance as required. 
  • Proficiency in brush, roller, and spray application; strong spray-prep skills. 
  • Ability to complete small drywall repairs and texture matching (larger repairs a plus). 
  • Working knowledge of spray equipment, elevated safety procedures, OSHA regulations, and MSDS requirements. 
  • Ability to work at heights using ladders, lifts, or scaffolding. 
  • Strong ability to work independently with minimal supervision. 
  • Good written and verbal communication skills; English speaking preferred. 
  • Availability to work all shifts, including weekends when needed. 
  • Familiarity with maintenance management software (CMMS) or willingness to learn.
