NuLook Painting is looking for an high preforming Tradesman Painter to join our team delivering quality work across some of the most unique remote locations in Northern Australia.
We specialise in projects many others won't take on; cattle stations, iconic roadhouses, outback pubs, tourist attractions, roof restorations, private properties and large scale repaint works.
