General Paint Department Technician – Assist with sanding, buffing, and prepping surfaces while maintaining strict quality standards.

What You’ll Do:

✅ Operate hand and power tools, including buffers, drills, hoists, and paint mixers.
✅ Read and follow blueprints, work orders, and production methods.
✅ Work closely with engineering and production teams to meet deadlines.
✅ Follow all safety policies and ensure high-quality workmanship.
✅ Train and assist team members as needed.

What We’re Looking For:

✔️ Hand and power tool experience is required – familiarity with drills, buffers, grinders, or similar tools.
✔️ Strong mechanical aptitude and attention to detail.
✔️ Ability to work independently and as part of a team.
✔️ Physical ability to lift up to 70 lbs., stand for long periods, and perform repetitive tasks.

Work Environment & Physical Demands:

  • Indoor shop setting with occasional exposure to outdoor elements.
  • Frequent standing, bending, lifting, and precise hand coordination.
  • Exposure to moving mechanical parts, temperature changes, and fumes.

Schedule:

Monday – Friday | 6:00 AM – 2:30 PM
(Some flexibility required for early or extended shifts.)
