• Inspect work for quality and address issues before project completion
• Manage materials, equipment, and job site organization
• Promote a positive, accountable, and team-first culture

We're Looking For Someone Who Has

• Previous experience leading a crew or serving as a foreman
• Strong knowledge of residential and commercial painting techniques
• Experience with spraying, brushing, rolling, prep work, drywall repairs, and finishing

• A company that values quality, teamwork, and continuous improvement

Who You'll Work With

You'll report directly to the Operations Manager and play a key role in building and strengthening our in-house production team. We're looking for someone who wants to be a long-term leader—not just another painter.

If You're Someone Who...

• Takes pride in doing things the right way
• Leads by example instead of just giving orders
• Enjoys teaching and helping others improve
• Wants to help build something bigger than yourself

...we'd love to meet you.
