Trainee Wood Painter & Joiner
About this job
A well-established timber joinery business in Silverdale is seeking a Trainee Wood Painter & Joiner to join their workshop team.
This business specialises in crafting custom timber windows and doors, handling the full process in-house — from raw timber machining and assembly through to high-quality spray finishing.
This is a hands-on, workshop-based position where you’ll be trained across both joinery and finishing.
A strong focus of the role is spray painting, so you’ll spend a good portion of your time in the spray booth preparing and coating timber products to a high standard.
Day-to-day, you’ll be involved in: - Preparing timber surfaces for finishing (sanding, filling, masking) - Spray painting windows and doors in a controlled spray booth environment - Handling paints, stains, and coatings with attention to finish quality - Assisting with the assembly of timber joinery (windows, doors, frames) - Learning to safely operate workshop machinery and tools - General workshop support to keep production running smoothly
This is a role where detail matters — the finish is just as important as the build.
