Are you an experienced Paint Sprayer or Prepper looking to take your skills into a specialist engineering environment?

We're recruiting a number of Paint Sprayers / Preppers to join one of the UK's leading rail engineering organisations in Milton Keynes. This is a fantastic opportunity to work on large scale rail vehicles and components, producing high quality finishes that play a vital role in keeping the UK's rail network moving.

Whether your experience comes from Rail, Aerospace, Marine, Power Generation, Defence, Automotive Manufacturing, or Heavy Industrial Painting, we'd love to hear from you.

This role is ideal for individuals who enjoy the preparation side of the painting process as much as the spraying itself.

The position is approximately:

70% Surface Preparation / 30% Paint Spraying

You'll be responsible for preparing rail vehicle components to the highest standards before applying specialist coatings and finishes in line with customer specifications and industry requirements.

• Preparing rail vehicles and components for painting and finishing
• Sanding, masking, filling and repairing surface imperfections
• Carrying out detailed preparation work to achieve high quality finishes
• Mixing paints, primers and coatings to specification
• Operating industrial spray painting equipment safely and effectively
• Applying primers, base coats and finishing coats using water based paint systems
• Conducting quality inspections throughout the preparation and painting process
• Working to strict quality, environmental and safety standards
• Maintaining equipment, tools and work areas to a high standard

• Proven background in paint preparation and spray painting
• Strong preparation skills including sanding, masking, filling and finishing
• Experience operating industrial spray equipment
• Ability to work to detailed specifications and quality standards
• Strong understanding of health and safety within an industrial environment
• Ability to work effectively within a shift based operation

We're particularly interested in candidates from:

• Rail
• Aerospace
• Marine
• Power Generation
• Defence
• Heavy Engineering
• Industrial Manufacturing

This role is primarily preparation focused, with around 70% of the workload dedicated to prep work.

A practical spray test forms part of the assessment process.

Candidates whose experience is limited to SMART repairs may not be suitable unless they can demonstrate substantial industrial, structural, or manufacturing paint experience.

Offers of employment are subject to a successful medical assessment, drugs and alcohol screening.

This is a rare opportunity to join a well established engineering business offering long term job security, specialist training, excellent earning potential through shift allowances, and the chance to work on high profile rail projects that make a real impact across the UK.

Apply today to find out more and take the next step in your engineering career.
