Join Student Works Painting
Professional Painting Services Across Western Canada
There are two ways for students to participate in the success of Student Works.
Students can choose to paint for a summer or actually run a Student Works business that employees other students.
Each provides a different experience and perspective of the painting business. Depending upon the experience that you want and the level of commitment you have, Student Works Painting has a role for you.
At the painting level students can take on the role of painter or crew chief. This level of participation is focused on the delivery of service (painting) and customer interaction.
As a student, the work is summer based and aligns with your need to work between university or college terms.
Mission Statement
Painter
Both rookie and veteran painters are needed to be a part of our successful student painting teams. You’ll get a suntan, stay in shape and make money. Usually compensation works out to anywhere between minimum wage and $20.00 plus.
You can increase your effective wage rate through taking advantage of the SWP piece rate system. Ask your potential Owner / Operator for more details. Weather permitting, we use a 40 hour work week.
You will learn many valuable skills including:
- Client relations
- Time management
- Problem solving skills
To apply for a painter position, please complete the online Summer Application Form.
Crew Chief
Crew Leaders provide basic leadership and are the on-the-job supervisors.
Compensation is typically better than that of a painter. Access to a vehicle and painting experience are essential. You’ll be the front line between the manager and the client.
To apply for a crew chief position, complete the online Summer Application Form.
