Structural Corrosion Control Coatings Applicator

Do you take pride in turning raw steel into resilient, job-ready structures? Do you notice every flaw before it becomes a problem? If precision application and rock-solid protection are your calling cards, this role is for you.

You arrive to a new build: the schedule is tight, weather is shifting, and the steel needs long-term protection. You assess, prep, and apply the correct coatings system—primer through finish—using the right tools and techniques. You document quality, maintain your gear, and hand off a product that’s built to last.

• Apply primers, paints, and specialty protective coatings tailored to each component’s needs.
• Operate spray guns, brushes, and rollers to produce an even, consistent finish.
• Inspect substrates for rust, contamination, and imperfections prior to coating.
• Mix paints, primers, and coatings exactly to specification.
• Deliver work that meets industry standards, project specifications, and performance requirements.
• Follow safety procedures and wear appropriate PPE throughout every task.
