Go Fast Manufacturing designs and builds industrial machinery for the sawmill, pallet, and lumber-processing industries. Our equipment ranges from standalone saws and notchers to complete automated material-handling systems.
We are hiring an Industrial Equipment Painter to prepare and finish fabricated machine components and completed equipment. This position has a direct impact on the appearance, durability, and overall quality of every machine we ship.

- Sand and prepare steel using hand sanders
- Mask bearings, shafts, machined surfaces, labels, and other areas that cannot be painted
- Hang and tag prepared parts onto paint racks
- Apply industrial primer and topcoat using spray equipment
- Mix coatings according to the required ratios and specifications
- Inspect finished parts for proper coverage, appearance, and coating quality
- Touch up components as needed before final assembly or shipment
- Clean and maintain spray guns, hoses, filters, and painting equipment
- Keep the paint area organized and maintain coatings and supplies
- Follow required safety procedures for painting, ventilation, respirators, and material handling

- One year of industrial painting, automotive painting, equipment painting, or similar experience preferred (not required)
- Experience using conventional or HVLP spray equipment
- Knowledge of surface preparation, masking, primer, and industrial topcoat application

This is not repetitive production-line painting of small parts. Go Fast builds large industrial machines and custom automation systems. Projects may include:
-
Frames, guards, and brackets
- Pallet notchers and dismantling equipment
- Conveyors and lumber-handling systems
- Pallet stackers and destackers
- Custom machine frames, guarding, and fabricated assemblies
The size and configuration of the equipment changes from project to project, so the work requires planning, problem-solving, and attention to areas that may be difficult to access after assembly.
- Full-time position
- Schedule: 6:00 A.M. - 4:30 P.M. Monday - Thursday
Apply today if you take pride in producing a clean, durable finish and want to work on industrial equipment that is designed, fabricated, assembled, and tested under one roof.
