Job Description

This entry-level Painter role focuses on painting small valves in a high-volume manufacturing environment. The work is highly repetitive and requires strong reliability, basic math skills, and prior manufacturing experience. Candidates who demonstrate consistent performance and dependability will have opportunities to train on additional duties over time.

Responsibilities

• Paint small valves consistently and accurately according to production standards and quality requirements.
• Follow established painting procedures to ensure proper coverage, finish, and adherence to specifications.
• Work on a repetitive production line while maintaining focus, efficiency, and attention to detail.
• Handle, move, and position parts and materials safely in a manufacturing environment.
• Support general labor tasks such as basic assembly, warehouse activities, or production support as needed.
• Operate or assist with material handling equipment, such as forklifts, when trained and authorized.
• Maintain a clean and organized work area, including the painting station and surrounding production space.
• Follow all safety policies and procedures, including the use of required personal protective equipment.
• Communicate effectively with team members and supervisors regarding production issues, quality concerns, or equipment problems.
• Demonstrate reliable attendance and punctuality to support consistent production schedules.
• Participate in training for additional duties and cross-training opportunities as assigned.

Essential Skills

• At least 6 months of manufacturing experience.
• Proven history of reliable attendance and punctuality.
• Basic math skills to support production and quality tasks.
• Ability to perform repetitive tasks for extended periods while maintaining quality and consistency.
• Comfort working in a production, warehouse, or manufacturing environment.
• Ability to follow written and verbal instructions accurately.
• Commitment to working safely and following all safety guidelines.

Additional Skills & Qualifications

• Experience in general labor, production, assembly, warehouse, or manufacturing work.
• Familiarity with forklifts or other material handling equipment.
• Willingness to learn new tasks and cross-train in additional production duties.
• No specific formal education or certifications required for this position.

Why Work Here?

This role offers a straightforward way to build or expand your experience in a manufacturing environment while learning practical, hands-on skills. You will have the opportunity to grow beyond the core painting tasks by training on additional duties as you demonstrate reliability and strong performance. The team values consistent attendance, safety, and a strong work ethic, and supports individuals who want to develop their capabilities over time.

Work Environment

The position is based in a heat treat plant that is generally very hot and can be dirty, reflecting a typical heavy industrial setting. The designated painting area is air conditioned, providing a more comfortable workspace for much of the day, while other parts of the plant remain very hot. Steel-toe safety boots are required, and safety glasses are provided. You will work around manufacturing equipment, production lines, and warehouse areas, and must be comfortable in an industrial environment with noise, heat, and physical activity.
