Automotive Spray Painter
Visa sponsorship
Automotive · Auckland, New Zealand · Full-Time · $30 - $40/hr · Visa: Employer sponsored
One Auckland paintshop has two permanent, full-time openings: an Automotive Spray Painter and a Paintshop Prepper / Assistant.
The painter's work is all about the finish: accurate colour matching, blending and refinishing to a consistent, high standard while keeping to workshop deadlines. The prepper sands, masks and primes panels, supports the painters and keeps the shop organised. That second role can suit a motivated beginner who wants to build trade skills and may lead towards an apprenticeship.
Sponsorship is available for suitably qualified overseas candidates.
If you have painted cars in Dhaka, Dubai or anywhere else, list the paint systems, colour matching and refinishing jobs you handled on your CV. Prepare a paintshop refinisher CV in Build AI CV and show the workshops you have worked in.
