Northern Kitchens operates a dedicated in-house paint shop, fully equipped with an open-face spray booth and a fully enclosed spray booth, covering approximately two-thirds of one of our factory sites. Due to sustained workload — including work generated from external joinery businesses seeking painting services — we are seeking an experienced, qualified Painter to join our team on a full time basis, working alongside our existing painter and paint shop support staff.

This is a genuine full-time position within a business that generates 40–50 hours of painting and finishing work per week, and there is scope for the role to grow as external painting work increases.

- Hand brush-painting of doors and panels to achieve specific brush-stroke finishes
- Application of clear polyurethane and varnish coatings to timber and timber veneer surfaces
- Staining of timber and timber veneer prior to finishing
- Surface preparation, masking and colour/finish matching prior to spraying or hand finishing
- Mixing and preparing paints, stains, lacquers and catalysed finishes to specification
- Maintaining and caring for spray equipment, booths and finishing tools




- Attending client and project sites as required to carry out hand-finish touch-up work and, on occasion, on-site spray touch-ups
- Working to quality and safety standards, including correct use of PPE and spray booth ventilation systems

About You

- Trade qualification in Painting and Decorating (or equivalent trade experience/qualification) — essential
- Demonstrated experience with spray application techniques, including 2-pack/acid catalyst and polyurethane finishes
- Experience hand-finishing timber joinery to a high standard
- Ability to work independently and as part of a small paint shop team
- Willingness to travel to project/installation sites when required for touch-up work
- Strong attention to detail and finish quality

What We Offer

- Full-time, ongoing position
- Modern, dedicated painting facility with open and enclosed spray booths
- Supportive team environment with experienced paint shop staff
- Opportunity to work across a broad range of finishing techniques and projects
