Randstad, a global leader in talent solutions, is currently seeking a dedicated and experienced Sandblaster/Painter (Industrial Painter) for a rewarding opportunity with one of our top manufacturing clients located in East Winnipeg.

If you have a passion for surface preparation, spray application, and working with industrial coatings in a highly structured union environment, this role is perfectly suited for you.

As a Sandblaster/Painter, you will play a critical role in a heavy industrial manufacturing environment. Your daily work ensures that products not only look professional but are also protected against environmental factors such as corrosion, wear, and extreme temperatures.

Based in East Winnipeg, this facility offers a stable and supportive union environment where your technical prowess will be highly valued and recognized.

• Mix paints, solvents, and industrial coatings to required technical specifications
• Inspect completed work using DFT gauges to ensure strict quality standards are met
• Maintain painting equipment, including cleaning nozzles and hoses, to prevent blockages
