Painter jobs in Lincoln

On-Site Kitchen Sprayer and Team Lead

London and surrounding areas | Self-employed | Monday to Friday | Rate negotiable

About the role

We’re looking for a professional spray painter to refinish kitchen carcasses in customers’ homes. You will lead and manage a team of two to four preparation operatives, taking responsibility for the day-to-day running of each job from start to finish. Working alongside your team, you will oversee the removal and labelling of kitchen doors, surface preparation and masking, ensuring the kitchen and surrounding areas are properly protected before spraying begins. You will then carry out the priming and spraying of the kitchen cabinets and fixed units, ensuring a consistently high-quality finish.

You will be responsible for coordinating the team's workload, monitoring progress, ensuring materials and equipment are available when required, and keeping each project running efficiently and on schedule. You will take ownership of the completed work, carry out final quality checks and ensure the kitchen is handed back to the customer to NuColour's standards.

About NuColour

We’re a specialist spraying and coatings company. Our kitchen team works with our Harlow spray facility, and our wider work includes commercial and industrial restoration works including intumescent fire protection, resin floors, cladding and roof coatings, and SASH window restoration. We take pride in every detail of each service we offer. We value people who turn up ready, treat customers and teammates with respect, and help make NuColour a good place to work.

What you’ll do

• Remove and label cabinet doors and hardware. Arrange transport to and from our Harlow spray facility, where the workshop team prepares and sprays the doors.
• Clean and prepare fixed units, frames and end panels. Mask and protect the kitchen and check the prep before spraying.
• Set up and maintain spray equipment, mix and apply coatings to the manufacturer’s instructions, and check the finish. Follow COSHH and safe spraying procedures, including correct PPE and RPE.
• Remove masking, refit and align the doors, resolve any snags and walk the customer through the finished kitchen to make sure they’re happy.
• Coordinate jobs that overlap. You might send a prep operative ahead to remove doors or start masking while you finish spraying elsewhere. Keep the team, workshop and customers updated.

What you’ll need

• Proven professional spray painting experience, including Graco airless or comparable equipment, and the ability to produce a consistent, high-quality finish.
• Good communication, reliable timekeeping and the ability to lead a small team across jobs in occupied homes.
• A full UK driving licence is essential. Our fleet insurance requires van drivers to be over 25 with no more than six penalty points and no driving bans.
• Kitchen refinishing and two-pack coating experience are preferred. A CSCS card and first aid qualification are also preferred. We can provide first aid training.

What we offer

We offer regular, long-term work and fully kitted-out company vans for site work. Your rate is negotiable depending on experience. There’s scope to progress into running multiple kitchen spraying teams, with training and opportunities to move into larger commercial spraying projects or intumescent fire protection.

All applications must be submitted through Indeed. Please note that telephone enquiries regarding this position will not be accepted.
