Blaster and Painter
Visa sponsorship
Trade · Perth, WA, Australia · Full-Time · $45/hr · Visa: Employer sponsored
Good coating work starts long before the spray gun comes out. An established industrial services company in Western Australia is adding to its workshop crew and wants a Blaster and Painter who knows that surface preparation decides how long a coating lasts.
Most of the day goes into grit blasting steel to Sa 2.5 and Sa 3, then laying down zinc-rich primers, high-build epoxies and polyurethane topcoats with airless and conventional spray gear. You will stripe coat edges, check film builds with a wet film gauge and follow QA/QC steps at every stage. Looking after the blast room and its equipment is part of the job. Eligible overseas candidates may be considered for sponsorship.
