Painter

Job Overview

Summer Painting Crew Member (May–August)

Precision Painting is hiring motivated university students to join our residential interior and exterior painting crews for the summer. You’ll work full-time from May through August, learn a practical skill quickly, and earn real money while working with other driven, positive students.

No painting experience required. We train you from day one.

Why This Job Is Different

• Paid training & coaching — we teach you everything you need to know
• Transferable skills — communication, teamwork, leadership, and customer service
• Clear earning structure — your effort directly impacts your pay
• Strong team culture — work alongside other hardworking students
• Apply with a friend — strong pairs get placed on the same crew

At the start of the summer, you’ll set a personal income goal with your manager and build a plan to hit it. This is one of the few student jobs where effort and responsibility actually matter.

Earnings

• Average painter earns ~$20/hour
• Top painters earn $23–$26/hour.
• Typical summer earnings: ~$9,000 (May–August)
• High performers can earn $12,000+

Most new hires reach near-professional painting quality within two weeks, even with no prior experience, thanks to hands-on training and one-on-one coaching. Promotions and pay increases come quickly for people who take initiative and deliver quality work.

What We’re Looking For

• Self-motivated and independent
• Strong problem-solving skills and accountability
• Comfortable with physical work (ladders, outdoor summer conditions)
• Attention to detail and pride in finished work
• Clear, professional communication

Requirements

• Full-time access to a vehicle
• Minimum non-GDL driver’s license

How to Apply

Email your resume to [email protected] with the subject line: Application to Painting Position

A cover letter is optional but strongly recommended if you want to stand out.

If you have a friend or family member who’d be a good fit, apply together — we actively hire pairs and place them on the same crew when possible.

Do you have questions or want references from past employees? Email us. We’re hiring students who want a productive, well-paid summer — not just a job to get through.

Pay: $18.00-$40.00 per hour
