If you're tired of chasing the next project, wondering where your next shutdown is coming from, or jumping from contract to contract, this is the opportunity you've been looking for.
Infrastructure People is recruiting experienced Painter Blasters for one of Australia's largest and most significant defence programs in South Australia.
This isn't a short-term project.
This is a long-term defence program with a confirmed pipeline of work extending beyond the next decade, offering genuine career stability, permanent employment, and the prospect to be part of a nationally important project.
Most importantly – you'll be home every night.
What's On Offer
Permanent, full-time employment
10+ years of confirmed project work
Paid annual leave, personal leave and public holidays
Long-term job security on a major defence program
Consistent hours and reliable income
Overtime opportunities available
Work with a respected defence contractor
Structured, safety-focused work environment
Career development and progression opportunities
Be home with your family every night – no FIFO
In a market where many roles are project-based or short-term, this opportunity offers something increasingly rare: certainty.
The Role
Working within a skilled and professional team, you'll be responsible for delivering blasting and protective coating works across defence assets and infrastructure.
Duties include:




Abrasive blasting and surface preparation
Application of industrial and protective coatings
Spray painting and finishing works
Quality inspections and coating compliance checks
Equipment operation and maintenance
Working to strict defence, safety and quality standards
About You
We're interested in speaking with experienced Painter Blasters from industrial, marine, defence, mining, manufacturing or heavy industry backgrounds.
To be successful, you'll ideally have:
Painter Blaster experience
Strong commitment to safety and quality
Ability to work within structured environments
White Card
Australian Citizenship or Permanent Residency (essential due to defence requirements)
Additional licences and tickets will be highly regarded.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
There are plenty of Painter Blaster jobs available.
Very few offer the combination of:
Permanent employment
Long-term project certainty
Major defence work
Career progression
Stable income
Home every night
For tradespeople looking for a secure future rather than their next short-term contract, this is an opportunity worth serious consideration.
Infrastructure People partners with some of Australia's most important infrastructure and defence projects, helping build high-performing teams that deliver long-term success.
