Job Description

Industrial Painter
Responsibilities and Duties
To accomplish their primary goal of painting and coating surfaces, Industrial Painters perform many tasks.

Clean and Prepare Surfaces
Industrial Painters must first prepare the surface they are going to paint. If there are previous finishes on the surface, they remove them using masking, grit blast, pressure washing, tool cleaning or chemical rinse. Then, they clean and smooth the surface and let it dry before painting.

Prepare Paints
Before starting a job, Industrial Painters prepare the paint they will use. They use measurement equipment such as viscosity cups, thickness gages and gloss gages to check the makeup of the paint, and use their understanding of chemistry to mix the appropriate compounds for the job. Many projects will require an epoxy paint application.

Apply Paint
Painters use a variety of techniques and tools to paint surfaces. Candidate may use spray equipment, airbrushes, stencils, rollers or brushes. Industrial painters must choose the best tool for the job at hand. Candidate must paint on primers, pre-finishes and finishing coats. Some Industrial Painters must use special safety equipment such as self-contained suits, self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) or protective eyewear.

Clean Work Areas
Industrial Painters clean up the area after they have finished a job. Candidate must carefully follow all guidelines for the safe handling and disposal of hazardous chemicals and waste. Minimizing overspray is critical to overall project success.

Maintain Equipment
Industrial Painters are responsible for maintenance of their painting equipment, some of which is quite technical. Candidate must be able to troubleshoot any problems that the equipment may have.

Conditions Monitoring and Quality Reporting
Painting in a field environment involves monitoring all conditions and documenting for turnover packages. Millage testing is also required.
