About Bay View Painting
Bay View Painting is a residential painting company serving the Midcoast Maine area, including Camden, Rockport, Rockland, Owls Head, and the surrounding towns. We're known for our attention to detail, integrity, and high-quality services. We offer steady, year-round employment, not seasonal layoffs.
We're looking for a Prepper to handle the prep phase of our projects. It's one of the most important roles on the crew: the quality, longevity, and finish of every job starts with the prep work.
What You'll Do
As a Prepper, you set up every job for a flawless finish, working alongside the crew and reporting to the Site Coordinator. Your day-to-day includes:
- Scraping and sanding interior and exterior surfaces (trim and siding).
- Filling holes and imperfections with the right product and sanding them flush, so no flaw shows through the finish.
- Caulking trim and siding.
- Handling rotted wood/big Holes.
- Setting up and protecting the job site, laying drops and tarps to protect client property and getting tools and cords ready each morning.
- Keeping the site clean as you go and performing a thorough end-of-day breakdown, so every property is left cleaner than we found it.
- Taking part in the daily huddle, reporting yesterday's work honestly and flagging any surface, material, or safety risks for the day ahead.
What We're Looking For
- A sharp eye for detail. Good prep is the foundation of great paint, and you take pride in getting surfaces right.
- Strong time management, you keep your work moving and stay on pace.
- Organized, you stay on top of your materials, tools, and workspace.
- A positive attitude that adds to the crew.
- Dependability.
- Willingness to learn, we provide in-house training, so the right attitude matters as much as the resume.
- Comfortable with physical, hands-on work (standing, ladders, lifting, and working with hand and power tools).
- A reliable vehicle and a valid driver's license (vehicle required).
- Prior painting or prep experience is a plus.
What We Offer
- Year-round, full-time work, no seasonal layoffs.
- $20/hour.
- 10 paid days off per year, plus paid sick days and vacation time that grow with your time at the company.
- Job-Site Efficiency Bonus.
- In-house training to build and sharpen your skills.
- A starter kit provided to every employee.
- Retirement plan.
- Access to a professional spray shop and quality tools and materials.
- Room to grow with the company.
