Spray Painter & Paintshop Prepper Assistant
Automotive · Rodney, Auckland, New Zealand · Full-Time · $30 - $40/hr
Two permanent, full-time openings sit inside a professional automotive paintshop in New Zealand: one for a seasoned Automotive Spray Painter and one for a Paintshop Prepper / Assistant. Hiring decisions rest on what you can genuinely show you have done, how capable you are and how dependable you have proven to be.
The painter's day centres on flawless, repeatable finishes, precise colour matching and refinishing that keeps the workshop moving. The prepper's seat suits someone who already knows surface preparation, or a driven newcomer keen to grow trade skills with the possibility of an apprenticeship later on.
Your background and work history will be looked at closely during selection. If you refinish vehicles in Dubai, Doha or Riyadh today, this could be your next move.
