• Prep, prime, base, clear, and blend with precision
• Work fast without cutting corners. Flow beats hurry.

• Collaborate with body technicians and the production team to keep the schedule moving
• Maintain a clean, organized, safe booth and equipment

What You Bring

• Auto collision paint experience required
• Strong color theory and blending skills
• Familiarity with modern waterborne and solvent paint systems (PPG, Axalta, Sikkens, BASF, or similar)
• Pride in your work, attention to detail, and the patience to do it right the first time
• High school diploma or equivalent
• Physical ability to bend, kneel, lift up to 30 lbs, and work in a paint booth environment
• I-CAR or paint manufacturer certifications a plus

Pay & Benefits

• Pay on a commissioned hour basis, with a weekly safety net (guaranteed minimum earnings)
• Compensation reflects experience and production
• Paid weekly
• Up to 14 days PTO annually (available after 90 days, prorated in first year)
• 1 Floating Holiday upon hire
• Health, dental, and vision insurance
• Voluntary life insurance
• Short term and long term disability
• Real career growth in a fast growing company

Our Core Values

• Culture First Excellence. Trust, transparency, accountability.

• Operational Agility. Flow beats hurry.
• Relentless Quality & Safety. No shortcuts. Ever.
• Empowered Team Ownership. We rise by lifting each other.

Requirements

• High school diploma or equivalent
• Auto collision paint experience
