Residential Construction Painter

Con App Inc • Norfolk, VA

3d • $18 - $24 • Onsite

About The Position

Con App Inc. is seeking experienced Residential New Construction Painters to join its production painting team. This is a full-time, hourly employee position offering consistent work, competitive hourly pay, regular overtime opportunities, company-provided transportation, and benefits. Painters work at residential new construction sites in and near Richmond, Williamsburg, and the Tidewater areas, including Smithfield, Suffolk, Chesapeake, and Virginia Beach. Depending on production needs, employees may work independently, alongside another painter, or as part of a larger crew.

The schedule is five days per week, with 40 or more hours and regular overtime opportunities. Pay is $18.00–$24.00 per hour, based on demonstrated experience and skill, and is paid weekly. The position includes paid travel time between assigned jobsites, certain additional drive-time compensation, and a company take-home vehicle, fuel card, and vehicle maintenance card. The workday begins at the first assigned jobsite; when the drive home from the final assigned job exceeds one hour, the employee receives one hour of drive-time compensation. Work and travel activity is tracked using the company's Geotab vehicle system.

Candidates must have previous painting experience; residential new construction painting experience is strongly preferred. Experience with homeowner pre-settlement touch-up and punch work is especially valued. Additional skills such as operating airless paint spray equipment, staining oak handrails or stair treads, and minor drywall repair are valued but not required. The work includes physical tasks such as standing for extended periods, bending, kneeling, reaching, climbing, working overhead, using ladders and construction equipment, carrying materials and tools, and performing surface preparation and sanding.
