Are you a 2nd or 3rd year spray painting apprentice looking to take your skills to the next level? Or a hands-on, motivated learner ready to kickstart a rewarding trade career?
At Metro Signs, we're offering an exciting opportunity to join a nationally respected signage manufacturer as an Apprentice Spray Painter. Based in Epping, our family-owned business has been shaping Australia's signage landscape for over 30 years - producing large-scale, illuminated, and custom signs for major brands across the country.
We're preferably seeking a 2nd or 3rd year apprentice who is ready to step into a fast-paced environment and grow with us - but we're also open to the right first-year candidate who's enthusiastic, driven, and ready to learn.

Mix and match paint colours with precision
Mask, prime and spray various signage materials
Use industry-standard spray booths and equipment
Maintain a clean, safe, and efficient workspace
Support other general signage manufacturing tasks

You'll bring:
An interest in spray painting, fabrication, or hands-on work
Good hand-eye coordination and attention to detail
A willingness to learn new techniques and processes
Reliability, punctuality and a strong sense of pride in your work
Ability to follow instructions and work within a team
A commitment to safety and responsibility in the workshop
Bonus if you have:
Previous exposure to manufacturing or signage (not essential)
A strong interest in colour, finish, or decorative effects
A creative mindset and forward-thinking attitude
