Sandblaster/Wet Painter

Compensation, Shift, & Location Details
Pay Rate: $20.00 - $22.00/hour (depending on experience)
(1st Shift) Monday – Friday, 6:00 AM – 2:30 PM
Location: Dayton, OH 45404
Experience: 1–3 years of experience in industrial sandblasting or heavy-duty spray painting

As a Sandblaster/Wet Painter, you are responsible for the "armoring" of precision-engineered metal. You take raw,heavy-gauge industrial fabrications and transform them into rugged, weather-resistant systems. PrideStaff, a
leading national workforce solutions firm, has partnered with a premier supplier located in Dayton and is lookingfor someone experienced with everything from high-pressure grit blasting to the expert application of industrialprimers and paints. You’ll ensure that our products don't just look the part—they last for decades.

Key Responsibilities:

• Abrasive Blasting: Operate high-pressure sandblasting and grit equipment to remove scale, rust, andimpurities, achieving a specific near-white metal finish (SSPC standards).
• Surface Profile Mastery: Inspect blasted surfaces to ensure the correct "anchor pattern" (texture) isachieved for the specific coating system being used.
• Industrial Spray Application: Set up and operate airless or HVLP spray systems to apply industrial primers,epoxies, and high-performance topcoats.
• Technical Mixing: Accurately mix multi-part coatings (activators/bases) according to strict manufacturerratios and "pot life" constraints.
• Precision Masking: Protect critical mating surfaces, flanges, and internal threads from blast media andoverspray using heavy-duty industrial tapes and plugs.
• Quality Verification: Use Wet Film Thickness (WFT) gauges during application to ensure the coating meetsengineering specifications before it cures.
• Equipment Care: Perform deep-cleaning and maintenance on blast pots, hoses, nozzles, and spray guns toensure zero downtime.

Why This Role is For You:

• Industrial Scale: You aren't working on small parts; you’ll be prepping and coating massive industrialducting and high-capacity ventilation systems.
• Master of Textures: You’ll learn the science of "surface profile," mastering how to etch steel to the perfectanchor pattern for maximum coating adhesion.
• The Final Shield: You provide the critical barrier against corrosion, chemicals, and extreme heat.

What You’ll Need to Succeed

• Technical Eye: Knowledge of various blast media (steel grit, glass bead, aluminum oxide) and their effectson different metal gauges.
• Safety Mindset: Total commitment to safety protocols, including the proper use of blast hoods,respirators, and environmental containment.
• Physical Strength: The stamina to handle high-pressure hoses and maneuver large-scale industrialcomponents in a fast-paced shop.
