About us

Colourfast powdercoaters coats everything we make for Fencing Solutions Tasmania fencing jobs that we fabricate inhouse across the North, North-West and West Coast of Tasmania. We also take on outside work from local customers, from trade and commercial jobs through to one-off pieces. We’re looking for a reliable powder coater to run the facility and turn out a quality finish every time.

What you’ll be doing

- Coating a real mix of work: our own fence panels, posts, gates and screens, plus outside jobs, which could be anything from steel fabrication and machinery parts to outdoor furniture, trailers, wheels and one-off items

- Receiving customer work: checking it in, noting the colour and finish required, and spotting anything that needs extra prep or masking

- Sandblasting / abrasive blasting to remove rust, old paint and mill scale and leave the right surface profile for coating

- Preparing steel and aluminium: cleaning, degreasing, masking and sanding

- Running pre-treatment and handling chemicals safely

- Hanging and jigging items of all shapes and sizes, including long lengths and awkward pieces

- Applying powder with electrostatic spray equipment and running the curing oven

- Selecting and matching colours and finishes to customer specs

- Checking coating thickness, coverage and finish,



and fixing any touch-ups

- Unhanging, wrapping and packing finished work, ready for our crews or customer pickup

- Maintaining the blast equipment, managing abrasive media and keeping the blast area clean

- Looking after the equipment, the booth and the work area, and following safe work practices

What we’re looking for

- Experience in powder coating and/or sandblasting (2+ years preferred). If you’re strong in one and keen to learn the other, we’d still love to hear from you

- Experience with a variety of jobs, not just production-line work. You’ll need to be comfortable working out the best way to prep, hang and coat something you haven’t seen before

- A valuable eye for detail and pride in a quality finish

- Friendly and clear with customers when they drop off or pick up work

- Able to juggle our own production work and outside jobs and keep turnaround times on track

- Physically fit, comfortable with lifting, bending and standing all day

- Comfortable wearing full PPE, including blast helmet and respirator, and following safe blasting practices

- Current driver’s licence. A forklift licence is a bonus

- Reliable, on time, and works well with a small team
