We're Hiring: Experienced Spray Painter – Premium Role (Day Shift)
Top rates. Specialist work. Long-term opportunity.

Freighter Group is one of Australia’s leading manufacturers in the road transport industry, recognised for delivering high-quality trailer and transport solutions nationwide.
Due to continued growth, we’re seeking a highly skilled Spray Painter to join our Brooklyn team — this is not your average spray painting role.
We’re looking for someone with specialist experience who takes pride in producing exceptional finishes and wants to be part of a business that values craftsmanship.
 $45–$50 per hour + overtime available

Why This Role Stands Out
This is a rare opportunity to step into a role working on large-scale transport equipment with a business that invests in its people, equipment, and standards.
If you’ve got experience beyond basic spray work — particularly in fibre glassing or vehicle fit-out — you’ll be highly valued here.

The Role

  • High-quality spray painting on trucks, trailers, and transport equipment
  • Surface prep, priming, masking, and finishing to a premium standard
  • Working with industrial two-pack systems
  • Contributing to builds where quality and durability matter
  • Collaborating with skilled trades across the production team
What We’re Really Looking For
This role suits someone who is hard to find — a tradesperson who combines technical skill with pride in workmanship.
You’ll ideally bring:
Proven spray painting experience (trade qualified or equivalent)
Strong background in industrial or heavy vehicle painting
Experience with two-pack paint systems
Fibreglass repair or finishing experience (highly regarded)
Automotive fit-out / body assembly experience (strong advantage)
Ability to work independently and maintain high standards under pressure

What You’ll Get
  • Above-market hourly rate for the right candidate
  • Consistent day shift hours + overtime
  • Work on specialised, large-scale builds (not repetitive light work)
  • A stable, growing company with long-term career pathways
  • A team that values skill, reliability, and quality work
Ready for a Better Role?
If you’re an experienced Spray Painter who knows your value — and you’re looking for a role where your skills are recognised and rewarded — we want to hear from you.
