• Run sites: set up, supervise crews, keep work on program and to a high standard

• Get hands-on with painting and prep when the job calls for it

• Keep clients and building managers updated with clear progress reporting

• Champion safety on site (SWMS, toolbox talks, quality and defect checks)

What we're looking for

• Trade-qualified painter (Cert III Painting & Decorating or equivalent)

• Solid commercial painting experience; confident reading scopes, colour schedules and specifications

• Commercial painting experience at any level is welcome, from those just starting their career to seasoned professionals

• Project management or site supervision experience (or ready to step up)

• We welcome candidates with formal project management experience as well as those ready to step up into a project management role

• Strong organisation, communication and client-facing skills

• White Card and a current driver's licence

• A safety-first attitude and an eye for quality finish

Nice to have

• Experience with body corporate / strata repaints

• Familiarity with SimPro (or similar job-management software)

• Height-safety / access awareness

What we offer

• $80,000 – $100,000 per year + company vehicle

• A varied role with real responsibility and a clear path to grow as we do

• A supportive, professional team that backs quality work

• Long-term, secure work with a busy pipeline

3-month probationary period applies.
