Use proper PPE and adhere to all safety protocols
Safely handle, store, and dispose of paints and materials
Maintain painting tools, sprayers, and equipment in excellent working condition
Represent the company professionally when working in occupied communities and interacting with residents

Proven track record of delivering high-quality finishes consistently

Ability to self-schedule tasks, prioritize work, and problem-solve on site
Reliable, accountable, and consistent in both attendance and performance
Ability to read, write, and speak conversational English to follow work orders and communicate professionally
Requirements
Valid California driver’s license, reliable transportation, and proof of insurance
Legally authorized to work in the U.S. (E-Verify required)
Must pass background check and drug screening
Ability to meet the physical demands of the role (standing, bending, lifting, reaching, ladder use, etc.)

Level 3 – Professional Painter: $24.00/hour - $30.00/hour to start (depending on experience)
