Ifyou'retired of chasing the next project, wondering where your next shutdown is coming from, or jumping from contract to contract, this is the opportunity you've been looking for.
Infrastructure People is recruiting experienced Painter Blasters for one of Australia's largest and most significant defence programs in South Australia.
This isn't a short-term project.
This is a long-term defence program with a confirmed pipeline of work extending beyond the next decade, offering genuine career stability, permanent employment, and the opportunity to be part of a nationally important project.
Most importantly – you'll be home every night.
What's On Offer
* Permanent, full-time employment
* 10+ years of confirmed project work
* Paid annual leave, personal leave and public holidays
* Long-term job security on a major defence program
* Consistent hours and reliable income
* Overtime opportunities available
* Work with a respected defence contractor
* Structured, safety-focused work environment
* Career development and progression opportunities
* Be home with your family every night – no FIFO
In a market where many roles are project-based or short-term, this opportunity offers something increasingly rare: certainty.
The Role
Working within a skilled and professional team, you'll be responsible for delivering blasting and protective coating works across defence assets and infrastructure.
Duties include:
* Abrasive blasting and surface preparation
* Application of industrial and protective coatings
* Spray painting and finishing works
* Quality inspections and coating compliance checks
* Equipment operation and maintenance
* Working to strict defence, safety and quality standards
About You
We're interested in speaking with experienced Painter Blasters from industrial, marine, defence, mining, manufacturing or heavy industry backgrounds.
To be successful, you'll ideally have:
* Painter Blaster experience
* Strong commitment to safety and quality
* Ability to work within structured environments
* White Card
* Australian Citizenship or Permanent Residency (essential due to defence requirements)
Additional licences and tickets will be highly regarded.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
There are plenty of Painter Blaster jobs available.
Very few offer the combination of:
* Permanent employment
* Long-term project certainty
* Major defence work
* Career progression
* Stable income
* Home every night
For tradespeople looking for a secure future rather than their next short-term contract, this is an opportunity worth serious consideration.
