We're Hiring: Experienced Spray Painter – Premium Role (Day Shift) Top rates. Specialist work. Long-term opportunity.

Freighter Group is one of Australia’s leading manufacturers in the road transport industry, recognised for delivering high-quality trailer and transport solutions nationwide.

Due to continued growth, we’re seeking a highly skilled Spray Painter to join our Direk team — this is not your average spray painting role.

We’re looking for someone with specialist experience who takes pride in producing exceptional finishes and wants to be part of a business that values craftsmanship.

Pay Rate:

$34 – $40 per hour + overtime available

Why This Role Stands Out This is a rare opportunity to step into a role working on large-scale transport equipment with a business that invests in its people, equipment, and standards.

If you’ve got experience beyond basic spray work — particularly in fibre glassing or vehicle fit-out — you’ll be highly valued here.

The Role

High-quality spray painting on trucks, trailers, and transport equipment

Surface prep, priming, masking, and finishing to a premium standard

Working with industrial two-pack systems

Contributing to builds where quality and durability matter





Collaborating with skilled trades across the production team

What We’re Really Looking For This role suits someone who is hard to find — a tradesperson who combines technical skill with pride in workmanship.

You’ll Ideally Bring

Proven spray painting experience (trade qualified or equivalent)

Strong background in industrial or heavy vehicle painting

Experience with two-pack paint systemsFibreglass repair or finishing experience (highly regarded)

Automotive fit-out / body assembly experience (strong advantage)

Ability to work independently and maintain high standards under pressure

What You’ll Get

Above-market hourly rate ($34 – $40/hr) for the right candidate

Consistent day shift hours + overtime

Work on specialised, large-scale builds (not repetitive light work)

A secure, growing company with long-term career pathways

A team that values skill, reliability, and quality work

Ready for a Better Role? If you’re an experienced Spray Painter who knows your value — and you’re looking for a role where your skills are recognised and rewarded — we want to hear from you.
