About the Role
Maritech LLC is a tough, fast-paced industrial painting company. We don’t do residential work or touch-up jobs—we blast, coat, and refinish structural steel, machinery, tanks, and more. This is real labor for real workers.
We’re hiring hardworking individuals who aren’t afraid of heights, confined spaces, heavy lifting, or heat. If you’ve worked in construction, welding, roofing, or any trade work, we want to talk to you. If you’re looking to build skill in a high-demand trade and you're reliable, teachable, and physically strong—this is your shot.
What You'll Do
Assist with abrasive blasting, pressure washing, masking, sanding, and prep
Apply industrial coatings using spray guns, rollers, and brushes
Use equipment like blast pots, airless sprayers, scissor lifts, tele-handlers
Set up and take down containment systems, scaffolding, and ventilation
Work in tight spaces, at heights, and in extreme temps (hot/cold)
Keep job sites clean, organized, and safe at all times
Follow foreman and supervisor directions closely
Travel to job sites when needed (some out-of-town work required)
Learn specialized trade skills over time (floor coatings, epoxy, etc.)
What You Need to Bring
Must be physically capable of lifting 50–125 lbs, climbing ladders, standing all day
Comfortable working in hot, cold, dusty, and noisy environments
Able to wear full PPE including respirators, blast hoods, and harnesses
Punctual, reliable, and safety-focused
Able to follow instructions and work well with a crew
Willing to travel and stay overnight for certain projects
Prior experience in construction, painting, or trades is a huge plus—but not required if you're teachable and tough
Must be drug free and able to pass pre-employment screening
Pay & Benefits
Starting at $23/hr – pay based on experience and skill level
Overtime opportunities available
On-the-job training provided
Steady work year-round
Potential for growth into lead roles or specialty certifications
Who This Job Is For
Construction workers looking to shift into painting
Trade-school grads wanting real-world experience
Laborers who can take orders and hustle
Roofers, welders, or riggers looking for steady work
This job is NOT for people who can’t show up, work hard, or follow safety rules
At Maritech LLC, we don’t just hire bodies—we build a team. We value hardworking, reliable people who take pride in what they do. When you show up and put in the work, you’ll be treated with respect, paid fairly, and given opportunities to grow. We offer steady work, real training, and a crew that looks out for each other. If you want a job where your effort actually matters, this is it.
