  • Apply primers, base coats, and topcoats according to industry standards and manufacturer specifications.
  • Use spray painting equipment to ensure even and accurate application of paint to aircraft surfaces.
  • Follow precise instructions and blueprints to create custom designs, logos, or lettering on aircraft.
  • Inspect painted surfaces for quality, ensuring proper thickness, gloss, and uniformity of color.
  • Repair and touch up paintwork as necessary, ensuring aircraft meet regulatory and aesthetic standards.
  • Maintain and clean painting equipment and tools, ensuring they are in proper working order.
  • Comply with safety regulations, using appropriate protective gear and ensuring the workspace is safe and clean.
  • Record and document all work performed, including materials used and procedures followed.
  • Work with other maintenance team members to ensure the aircraft is ready for delivery on schedule.
  • Ensure compliance with environmental regulations regarding the use of chemicals and hazardous materials.
  • Assist in the development of painting schedules and timelines, ensuring that projects are completed on time.

Qualifications :

  • Proven experience as an Aircraft Painter or in a related role (e.g., automotive or industrial painting).
  • Familiarity with aircraft painting techniques, materials, and procedures.
  • Ability to read and interpret technical drawings, blueprints, and specifications.
  • Skilled in the use of spray guns, sanders, buffers, and other painting equipment.
  • Strong attention to detail with the ability to produce high-quality finishes.
  • Knowledge of safety protocols related to handling hazardous chemicals and materials.
  • Physical stamina and dexterity to work in confined spaces or at heights.
  • Ability to work as part of a team and collaborate effectively with other technicians and engineers.
  • Excellent time management and organizational skills.
  • Preferred Qualifications :

  • Experience working with a variety of aircraft types (commercial, military, private jets, etc.).
  • Familiarity with corrosion prevention and metal treatment processes.
  • Knowledge of environmentally safe painting products and techniques.
  • Ability to apply complex custom designs, logos, or branding.
  • Certification in aircraft painting or a relevant field (preferred but not mandatory depending on experience).
  • Knowledge of relevant aviation regulatory standards (such as FAA or EASA guidelines) concerning painting and surface finishing.
  • Training in the safe handling of hazardous materials (e.g., OSHA, WHMIS certification).
  • We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans.
