Industrial Blaster and Painter
Visa sponsorship
Trade · Perth, WA, Australia · Full-Time · $40 - $45/hr · Visa: Employer sponsored
Every good coating job starts with the blast, and this Perth role is for a tradesperson who never skimps on preparation. A growing industrial coatings business in Western Australia needs a full-time Industrial Blaster and Painter with genuine abrasive blasting and protective coating experience.
Most days you will be in the blast bay with a pot and compressor, then on the spray gun laying down epoxy or urethane, then checking film and finish before the job moves on. Suitable candidates who meet the experience, verification, performance and eligibility requirements can be offered sponsorship, while anyone currently holding a 482 visa may be considered for a visa transfer.
A coatings CV should read like a job sheet: what you blasted, which systems went on and which tickets you carry. Record your abrasive blasting and epoxy coating jobs in Build AI CV for your application.
