About The Position

Join a team that prizes precision and craftsmanship. In this role, you’ll execute the finishing steps that give our Pilates apparatus its look, feel, and durability. You’ve already spent time in a finishing booth (or a closely related spray environment) and are ready to apply consistent technique in a production setting.

Requirements

• 12+ months in wood/cabinet/furniture finishing OR adjacent spray-finishing (e.g., auto refinish, industrial coatings, millwork).
• Working knowledge of HVLP equipment, spray patterns, tip selection, and basic gun maintenance.
• Strong hand–eye coordination, consistent technique, and attention to detail.
• Comfort with solvents/finishes and shop tools; ability to lift up to 50 lbs and stand for extended periods.
• Reliable, team-oriented, organized, and coachable.

Nice To Haves

• Cabinet shop finisher, furniture finisher, millwork spray tech, or auto body prep/spray with strong sanding and coating discipline.

Responsibilities

• Surface prep & sanding: DA/orbital sanding, hand-sanding, edge-breaks, grit sequencing, and surface cleaning prior to finishing.
• Stain, seal, and topcoat: Mix, strain, and apply clear coatings with HVLP for even film build, color match, and clarity.
• Touch-ups & defect repair: Blend and correct minor defects (abrasion, nibs, fisheyes, light scratches) and rework per spec.
• Spray booth operations: Stage parts, maintain filters and cleanliness, manage flash/cure times, and document materials used when needed.
• Inspection: Check adhesion, coverage, sheen, and uniformity; flag inconsistencies and follow rework standards.
• Safety: Use all PPE, follow chemical-handling and ventilation protocols, and maintain a tidy, organized booth.

Benefits

• Craftsmanship & brand legacy: Your work ships worldwide and is trusted by top studios and instructors.
• Clean, safety-first environment: PPE provided; well-maintained booth and clear work instructions.
• Predictable schedule: Consistent second-shift hours for those who prefer afternoons/evenings.
• Benefits: Multiple PPO/HMO options; low-cost dental; company-provided short- and long-term disability; no-cost life insurance; paid holidays, sick time, and vacation.
