Job Description

Senior Painter - Third Generation Painters (Vernon, BC)

Join a Premium Local Painting Company Built for the Okanagan Lifestyle.
Third Generation Painters combines three generations of professional painting and refinishing experience with a fresh, independent approach to business. Founded in 2019 by a former competitive skier from Ontario, the company was built to deliver craftsmanship and consistency at the highest level--from full exterior repaints on stucco and Hardie board to detailed interior and cabinet refinishing during the winter season.

We take pride in our process, our professionalism, and our people--and we're looking for a Senior Painter who shares that same mindset of excellence.

Why Work With Us

Year-Round Stability: We stay busy through all four seasons--with summer exteriors and steady interior and cabinet refinishing projects through winter. Premium Projects: High-end homes, modern chalets, lakefront properties, and detailed refinishing work--no cookie-cutter painting. Professional Growth: Step into a leadership role and develop both your craft and project management skills. Top-Tier Tools & Products: Graco sprayers, scaffolding systems, and top-of-the-line paint, stain, and coating systems. Positive, Local Culture: A small, tight-knit team that values integrity, communication, and pride in every finish--with an active, outdoors-loving attitude.
Role Overview
As a Senior Painter, you'll take ownership of site performance and quality. When our Crew Lead/Jobsite Manager is off-site, you'll run the project--ensuring work stays organized, safe, and on schedule while maintaining the premium finish standards our clients expect.

Responsibilities

Lead small teams on custom residential painting and refinishing projects. Read and interpret work orders and daily planners. Oversee prep, spraying, staining, and finishing with attention to detail.
