Job Description

For Jeff Bryant Painting

About the Position

As an Experienced Painter at Jeff Bryant Painting, your daily focus is on craftsmanship and detail rather than rushed production. Operating on-site within a small, collaborative crew, a typical day involves executing precise surface preparation—such as masking, fine sanding, and repairing interior walls, trim, and high-end cabinetry—before applying premium finish coatings. Because our projects primarily take place inside high-end residential homes, a significant portion of your day involves working carefully around finished spaces and interacting directly with homeowners. This role focuses primarily on premium interior surfaces and specialized cabinet refinishing, with minimal exterior work.

What We Offer

• Compensation: $20.00 to $26.00 per hour, with raises tied directly to the professional value, consistency, and quality you provide.
• Retirement: Company retirement match program to support your long-term financial planning.
• Paid Time Off: Earned PTO program.
• Bonuses: Access to various performance and project based bonus structures.
• Professional Development: Continuous training in specialized interior coating applications, fine finish techniques, and project leadership.
• Work Culture: A respectful, non deadline driven environment where the pressure is placed entirely on quality, and your skills are genuinely valued.

Key Responsibilities

• Perform comprehensive, detailed surface preparation on interior walls, trim, and high end cabinetry.
• Apply premium finish paints and coatings to a flawless standard using brushes and rollers.
• Maintain an immaculate, organized job site, ensuring client flooring, furniture, and personal property are fully protected.
• Collaborate closely within a small crew, executing both foundational prep work ("grunt work") and skilled finish applications.
• Represent the company professionally during daily face-to-face interactions with homeowners.

Requirements

• Experience: Minimum of 2 years of professional residential painting experience as part of a crew for an established painting company.
• Tools: Must possess your own standard painter's hand tools (screwdrivers, pliers, scrapers, knives, etc.).
• Licensing & Transport: Valid Driver’s License and reliable personal transportation to travel to various residential job sites across the Grand Rapids area.
• Physical Demands: Ability to consistently lift and carry 50+ pounds and work comfortably at heights on ladders and staging.
• Legal & Screening: Must be legally authorized to work in the United States and willing to undergo and pass a background check.
• Preferred (Bonus Points): Fine finish spray experience (HVLP/Airless) and/or experience leading small projects or crews.
