NuLook Painting is looking for an high preforming Tradesman Painter to join our team delivering quality work across some of the most unique remote locations in Northern Australia.

We specialise in projects many others won’t take on; cattle stations, iconic roadhouses, outback pubs, tourist attractions, roof restorations, private properties and large scale repaint works.

This opportunity suits someone who takes pride in their trade, works with urgency, leads by example, holds themselves to a high standard, and wants to be part of a respected team known for delivering quality work.

Important: Read Before Applying

This is a permanent full-time role with ongoing work, not a FIFO roster.

Our work involves travel to remote locations for project then returning to base or taking planned leave between jobs where schedules allow.

We can work well with interstate employees, but we are looking for people who want a genuine long-term position and are prepared to commit to the role.

If you are chasing short-term swing work, filling time between FIFO jobs, or unsure about bush work, this role likely won’t suit you.
