Painter Jobs in Aurora, IL

A Painter in the construction industry is responsible for enhancing the aesthetic appeal of buildings by applying paint, wallpaper, and other finishes to surfaces. They prepare surfaces by fixing woodwork, filling holes and cracks, and smoothing and sealing surfaces. They mix and match colors and textures and ensure surfaces are not susceptible to moisture by sealing corners and joints. Painters work on a variety of structures ranging from bridges, walls, buildings, and more. They also play a crucial role in conducting minor repair work such as plastering and glazing.

To excel in this role, a Painter must have strong knowledge of different types of paint, their applications, and the techniques for mixing and thinning paint. They must possess superb manual dexterity, eye for details, and a good sense of balance. A certification from a technical school or an apprenticeship provides a solid foundation for this role, as does a thorough understanding of safety guidelines. Prior to becoming a Painter, one might have roles such as Painting Assistant, Maintenance Worker, or Construction Laborer, where they learn the trade before stepping into the role of a Painter.
