Painter

Trade Qualified Painter

We’re looking for experienced painters to join a well-established company working across Dunedin. Ideally, you’ll be trade qualified, but we’re also keen to hear from experienced brush hands who can turn up, get stuck in, and deliver a quality finish without needing to be micromanaged.

Location: Dunedin Central, Dunedin
Start date: ASAP
Pay rate: $28–$35 per hour depending on experience – paid weekly

What you’ll be doing
  • Preparing interior and exterior surfaces through sanding, scraping, filling, sealing and priming
  • Applying undercoats and finishing coats using brushes, rollers and spray equipment
  • Mixing and matching colours and applying a range of coatings and finishes
  • Masking and protecting surrounding areas to maintain a clean, professional finish
  • Working safely at height using ladders and scaffolding where required
  • Cleaning and maintaining painting tools and equipment
  • Working independently and as part of the team while following site health and safety requirements
What we’re looking for
  • Trade qualification in painting strongly preferred, or solid industry experience as a painter
  • Proven ability to work independently and complete work to a high standard without constant supervision
  • Full NZ driver licence
  • Strong attention to detail and a reliable work ethic
  • Ability to pass a pre-employment drug and alcohol test
  • Two recent work references
  • Site Safe is beneficial, but we can arrange this if you don’t already have it
What’s in it for you
  • Competitive $28–$35 hourly rate based on experience
  • Weekly pay
  • Potential for ongoing work
  • Opportunity to work with a well-established company in Dunedin
  • Support from the Tradestaff Dunedin team
