Job Description

We're Hiring: Experienced Spray Painter – Premium Role (Day Shift)

n

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

n

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

n

n
- High-quality spray painting on trucks, trailers, and transport equipment
n
- Surface prep, priming, masking, and finishing to a premium standard
n
- Working with industrial two-pack systems
n
- Contributing to builds where quality and durability matter
n




- Collaborating with skilled trades across the production team

What We're Really Looking For

n

This role suits someone who is hard to find — a tradesperson who combines technical skill with pride in workmanship.

n

You'll Ideally Bring

n

n
- Proven spray painting experience (trade qualified or equivalent)
n
- Solid background in industrial or heavy vehicle painting
n
- Experience with two-pack paint systems
n
- Fibreglass repair or finishing experience (highly regarded)
n
- Automotive fit-out / body assembly experience (strong advantage)
n
- Ability to work independently and maintain high standards under pressure
n

n

What You'll Get

n

n
- Above-market hourly rate ($34 – $40/hr) for the right candidate
n
- Consistent day shift hours + overtime
n
- Work on specialised, large-scale builds (not repetitive light work)
n
- A stable, growing company with long-term career pathways
n
- A team that values skill, reliability, and quality work
n

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.
