Job Description

Field Coatings Technician (Veterans Encouraged to Apply)

Sun Valley, CA · $20–$23/hr · Full-time, 40 hours guaranteed

Your skills from the service carry over here

If you’ve turned wrenches on a motor pool line, needle-gunned and painted a ship’s deck, or built and repaired structures in the field, you already have the work ethic for this job. We’re looking for veterans who want hands-on, outdoor work on a small crew that takes pride in doing the job right.

This isn’t a shop job. You’ll spend most of your days on job sites with a 3–4 person crew, applying tough, spray-on protective coatings to decks, basements, pools and commercial projects, including night work at commercial areas .

What you’ll do

• Travel to job sites with your crew and apply spray-on protective coatings
• Prep surfaces with grinders, sanders and power tools so the coating bonds and lasts
• Mask, tape and protect surrounding areas before spraying
• Run nail guns, grinders and other power tools as the job requires
• Wear and maintain your PPE on every job
• Keep equipment clean, maintained and ready for the next site
• On rain days, work in the shop on fabrication, cleaning and equipment readiness

Schedule

• Typically 8am–5pm, Monday–Friday
• Some night-shift theme park projects: work 4 nights, get paid for 5
• 40-hour week guaranteed, rain or shine

What we’re looking for

• Hands-on experience with power tools, hand tools or equipment maintenance, from the military, construction or the trades
• Comfortable with physical, outdoor work in all seasons
• Follows safety standards and wears PPE without being told
• A self-starter who doesn’t need to be micromanaged
• Takes pride in clean, quality work
• Coatings, painting or surface prep experience is a plus but not required
• Must live in the Sun Valley / San Fernando Valley area (no relocation)

Military backgrounds that fit this role well

• Army: 91B Wheeled Vehicle Mechanic, 12W Carpentry & Masonry, 12N Horizontal Construction, 15G Aircraft Structural Repairer, Combat Engineer
• Navy & Coast Guard: Boatswain’s Mate, Hull Maintenance Technician, Damage Controlman, Seabees (Builder, Steelworker)
• Air Force: Corrosion Control (2A7X3), Structural (3E3X1), Pavements & Construction Equipment (3E2X1)
• Marine Corps: Combat Engineer (1371), Motor T Mechanic, Metal Worker
• National Guard and Reserve members are welcom

Why this role

• Steady 40 hours, even when the weather doesn’t cooperate
• Small crew where your work gets noticed
• No two job sites are the same, from backyards to theme parks
• Learn a skilled trade with long-term demand
