About The Position
Con App Inc. is hiring experienced Residential New Construction Painters for its production painting team.

Painters may work independently, alongside another painter, or as part of a larger crew, depending on the production schedule. Candidates should be comfortable and productive in both individual and team settings. Pay is $18.00–$24.00 per hour, based on demonstrated experience, skill, productivity, versatility, work quality, and ability to work independently and as part of a team. The position offers a guaranteed five-day workweek, 40+ hours per week, regular overtime opportunities, and weekly pay. Benefits and work support include five paid holidays per year, 5–10 days of accrued paid vacation per year for full-time employees, employer-sponsored health insurance options, a company-provided take-home vehicle, fuel and vehicle maintenance cards, paid travel between assigned jobsites, and additional drive-time compensation under the stated conditions. The work includes applying paint with brushes and rollers, preparing and protecting residential surfaces, maintaining quality and production standards, performing touch-up and punch work, and completing corrections as homes approach settlement.
