Job Title: Painter and Decorator / Sprayer
Location: Sittingbourne
Salary: GBP 32,000 - GBP 50,000 subject to experience and O/T worked
Job Type: Permanent, Full Time.
Experience level: Decorating experience essential; spraying experience preferred.
Job Description
At ESM, we manage the design and build of exhibition spaces to create engaging and memorable stands for our clients and their brands. All work is undertaken in-house at our Kent headquarters by our experienced team who have been working on exhibition stands and trade fairs for a number of years, bringing both expertise and the latest trends to every project.
We produce genuinely beautiful work from our fully equipped factory and offices in Sittingbourne, working on fantastic projects for various agencies and a large volume of work for exhibitors looking to stand out at their events predominantly in the UK.
Our staff are tremendously proud of what we do, and this is a great chance to join a team that sets the highest standards and helps us further improve the service we provide to our clients.
The Position
ESM is seeking a painter and decorator to add to our team in 2025 and join a team of 3 in the finishing department. We finish the majority of our work in emulsion; however, wallpapering, graphic wrapping, and other finishes are sometimes used. We also spray in-house via our spray booth, which demands an exceptional amount of time prepping, filling, sanding, and finally priming and top coating in the paint provided.
Our work is painted and prepped in our factory, but it is commonplace for our decorators to assist with installations and sometimes breakdown of stands throughout the UK and sometimes Europe, helping not just with painting and decorating but also building, and perhaps driving, cleaning, and all other tasks that go into building a stand (particularly small stands where the team sent to site is smaller).
Key Tasks May Include
* Filling and preparing surfaces for decoration
* Decoration (via rollers, brushes, etc.) of panels and units
* Protection and wrapping
* Hard filling and sanding/prep for spraying
* Priming and top coating of surfaces
* Ordering of paint and materials
* Colour matching and quality management
The Candidate
The ideal candidate will have a keen eye for detail and high standards, with a determination to provide the most premium finish possible, as we are well known for our high quality of workmanship. A willingness to learn spraying if this is not a skill you already possess (we would prefer some experience already), whilst a steady hand and good physical fitness are essential. You should be open to overtime, as our work can be seasonal and demands at busy times are high. You should relish the opportunity to travel and work at venues across the UK and sometimes Europe, where overnight expenses and accommodation will be provided.
A hardworking positive mindset is essential, as we are a close team and embrace those who look to work together to achieve the best possible end result for our clients.
Benefits
* 25 days holiday a year
* Competitive hourly rate and O/T rate subject to experience
* Company Pension
* Friendly but fast-paced working environment
