- Identify and flag scope changes or issues to the production manager before they cost time
- Mentor junior painters and team members.
- Drive the company vehicle and maintain it per RSP standards
What We're Looking For
- 3+ years of residential painting experience (1 year with RSP preferred but not required)
- Proven ability to lead a small crew and hold production standards
- Strong communication — with your team, the office, and homeowners
- Detail-oriented: you don't cut corners and you don't let your crew cut corners
- Organized: you know what materials you need, you order them in advance, you're never idle
- Valid driver's license — clean driving record required (company vehicle provided)
- Experience with job site documentation tools (Company Cam, TSheets, or similar)
