Painter (Industrial) (Industrielackierer)

Core responsibilities (industrial coatings)

• Prepare substrates: cleaning/degreasing, masking, and prep steps according to the coating system.
• Apply coatings (often spray): stable technique, correct overlap, and controlled finish.
• Measure coating thickness (WFT/DFT) where required and document results.
• Maintain safe work discipline, especially when using solvents, compressed air, or abrasive tools.

What you should be comfortable with

• Masking/protection and controlled preparation to avoid contamination.
• Mixing ratios, pot life awareness, and consistent batch handling.
• Spray equipment basics (airless / air-assisted), cleaning and maintenance routines.
• Simple thickness checks (where project rules require) and defect correction before handover.

Site standards differ: some projects are workshop-style; others are field coating on structures. Your CV should clearly show what environment you worked in.

Quality, inspection logic, and common defects

• Surface condition: cleanliness and prep quality define adhesion and durability.
• Environmental control: temperature/humidity and condensation risk influence results.
• Thickness control: too thin reduces protection; too thick can cause runs and curing issues.
• Defect prevention: avoid orange peel, dry spray, pinholes, runs/sags, and overspray contamination.

Detailed requirements for the vacancy

• CV in English (PDF preferred) with dates, locations, and exact coating tasks — required.
• Industrial prep competence: cleaning/degreasing, masking, abrasion/grinding support (as required).
• Application skill: stable spray technique, correct overlap, controlled film build.
• Measurement discipline: readiness to follow thickness checks and record results when needed.
• Safety mindset: PPE compliance; safe solvent handling; tidy housekeeping.
• Language: English onboarding; basic German (A1–A2) is a strong advantage for safety briefings.

Add these to your CV

• Coating types you applied (e.g., primers/topcoats, corrosion protection systems) if true.
• Environment: workshop line vs. field coating on steel structures.
• Tools: spray equipment used, thickness gauge experience (if applicable).
• Quality examples: defects you prevented or corrected before inspection.

Who fits best on industrial coating projects

• Works clean: protects surfaces, prevents contamination, and maintains a controlled area.
• Can spray consistently without “patchy” film build or unstable overlap.
• Understands that thickness and finish are measurable acceptance criteria.
• Follows safety rules seriously (solvents, compressed air, workshop traffic).

What screening flags most often

• CV is vague (no projects, no dates, no coating scope).
• Only “painting walls” experience with no industrial coating exposure.
• Repeated defects (runs, dry spray, contamination) and weak cleanup discipline.
• Safety non-compliance or inability to follow process instructions.

Working in Germany via a Polish employer (practical model)

Industrial coating projects are process-driven: safety, documented work steps, and predictable payroll matter. When staffed operationally by a Polish employer, success depends on accurate timesheets, clear settlement, and stable compliance with site standards.

• Gross pay communication: all rates are described as gross (brutto). Germany’s statutory minimum wage from 01 Jan 2026 is €13.90 gross/hour.
• Timesheets & settlement: recorded per shift/task; accuracy protects pay and compliance.
• Safety onboarding: project induction may include PPE rules and restricted-area procedures.
• Workwear and cleanliness: protective clothing requirements depend on site and coating materials.
• Accommodation model: some projects offer options; conditions vary by city and availability.

Reality check: eligibility decides feasibility

English can be enough for onboarding on selected projects, but legal work authorization remains the main gate. If you are unsure, start with a structured legalization plan before applying broadly.

• Eligibility first: nationality, documents, and authority decisions define feasibility.
• Trade screening: evidence of industrial coating experience improves acceptance.
• Minimum inputs: CV + passport + location + availability timeline.

Final eligibility depends on your documents, employer requirements, and decisions by the authorities.

Prepare these before applying

• CV in English (PDF) + contact details
• Passport scan + current location (country/city)
• Certificates/licenses (if applicable)
• Short project list: locations, dates, coating tasks, tools/materials

Strong documentation reduces verification time and improves response rates.
