Apprentice Painter – Learn a Skilled Trade with Real Career Growth

HD Painting | hdpainting.ca

Are you looking to start a hands-on career that pays well, teaches you a real skill, and puts you on a path to leadership? We’re hiring Apprentice Painters to join our growing team across St. Thomas, London, and surrounding areas.

You don’t need painting experience—just a great attitude, a strong work ethic, and a desire to learn. We’ll teach you the rest.

What You’ll Be Doing:

Learning how to prep, paint, and finish surfaces on commercial sites
Supporting experienced painters with site setup, masking, sanding, and cleanup
Working on real construction sites—indoors and outdoors, year-round
Practicing safety, professionalism, and teamwork every single day
Progressing from helper to painter as you develop real trade skills
What You Should Know:

Construction work is tough—it’s physical, it can get dirty, and some days are harder than others. But if you show up with a good attitude and a willingness to grow, you can build a long-term career here.

We want people who show up ready to listen, learn, and feed the monster (that’s HD-speak for putting in the effort and going after your goals).

You’re a Great Fit If You:

Are reliable, respectful, and ready to work
Can get to job sites on time (must have a valid G driver’s license and vehicle)
Aren’t afraid to get your hands dirty and take pride in doing things right
Enjoy learning new skills and want to build a career in the trades
Work well with others and bring positive energy to the team
Bonus Points If You:

Have some experience on a construction site or in a physical job
Are comfortable working on ladders or at heights
Like the idea of becoming a professional painter or site supervisor in the future
Compensation & Benefits:

Starting at $20/hr with regular reviews as your skills grow
Overtime paid after 44 hours/week
Flexible benefits including HCSA after 6 months of employment
Regular team events, coaching, and growth opportunities
Work Monday to Friday, 7am–4pm with occasional weekends or evenings
Why Work With Us?

At HD Painting, we believe:

A connection is as simple as a coffee and a handshake
Invest in all people and make everyone better around you
Listen, learn and grow
Do it right, trust the process, no excuses
Feed the monster (i.e., bring the energy and go after your goals)
We’ve been around for over 35 years, and we’re still growing because we invest in people. If you want more than just a job—if you want a place to grow into your best self—this is it.
