Painter

As a painter you will be responsible for:

•  Painting grain bin hoppers, steel beams and other metal products.

• Accurately mix paints, primers, and coatings according to specifications to ensure the correct consistency, color, and chemical properties.

• Use proper ratios and follow the manufacturer’s instructions when mixing paint to avoid inconsistencies and defects.

• Apply primer coats to steel surfaces to ensure better paint adhesion and corrosion resistance.

• Use spray guns, brushes, or rollers to apply the primer uniformly over the steel surface.

• Operate spray equipment to apply even layers of paint to steel surfaces, ensuring an efficient and smooth finish.

• Ensure the paint is evenly distributed and free from streaks, runs, or bubbles.

• Ensure that surfaces are properly prepared and free of contaminants that could affect the quality of the finish.

• Mask and tape off areas that should not be painted, such as edges, seams, or parts with mechanical components, to ensure a clean finish.

• Clean and maintain painting tools and equipment, such as spray guns, brushes, rollers, and air compressors.

• Apply paint in the correct thickness layers, ensuring it provides adequate coverage and protection to the steel surface.

• Adhere to safety guidelines while using paints, solvents, and chemicals, including wearing protective gear such as respirators, gloves, and goggles.

• Safely handle hazardous materials, including toxic solvents, lead-based paints, and other chemicals used in painting.

• You will need to be comfortable working on ladders.
