If you are the right person for this role and are passionate about joining our team and the mission of paint recycling, we are willing to work with you to find a schedule that fits.

Key Responsibilities:

• Paint Sorting & Categorization: Organize and categorize incoming paint from our pickup operations.

• Paint Mixing & Creation: Mix, blend, and match salvaged paint to create new, high-quality, recycled paint products.

• Color Matching: Use your knowledge of color theory to accurately match and create specific paint colors.

• Quality Control: Ensure the consistency and quality of all recycled paint batches.

• Equipment Maintenance: Maintain and operate paint mixing and processing equipment.

• Waste Handling: Safely and responsibly handle various household hazardous waste materials in compliance with all safety protocols.

• Documentation: Accurately track and document materials used and paint batches produced.

What We’re Looking For:

• Experience is Key: You have a proven background in mixing paint, color matching, and creating paint products. Experience in a retail paint store, manufacturing, or a similar environment is highly preferred.

• A Mind for Recycling: You have an understanding of or a strong interest in the process of recycling paint and giving new purpose to materials.

• Detail-Oriented: You have a meticulous eye for detail, especially when it comes to color and consistency.

• Independent & Proactive: You are a self-starter who can take initiative and work effectively with minimal supervision.

• Safety Conscious: You have knowledge of and commitment to safety procedures for handling hazardous materials.

• The Right Attitude: You are looking for a job with major upside and want to be a foundational part of a growing company.
