Through its "Ignite Learning" campaign, the Durham District School Board (DDSB) has outlined its strategic priorities, which include Success, Well-Being, Leadership, Equity, Engagement and Innovation. This is an exciting opportunity for the Painters to contribute meaningfully to these priorities.

Working under the direction of the Maintenance Supervisor, you will prepare for, and perform, Board painting in a timely manner, as required, and work with/assist other trades.

More specifically, you will paint exterior lines at schools, such as games in playgrounds and handicap parking spots, school logos, non-slip coatings on portable steps and interior staircases, and more.

As a

This role will also involve discussing painting requirements with school administrators, consulting on colour choices, arranging the dates and times for completion of painting, considering evening permits and other scheduling needs, tracking time and work orders on weekly timesheets, and disposing of old paint according to Health and Safety guidelines.

Inspecting and maintaining all shop equipment (i.e., ladders, scaffolding, spray equipment, etc.) in safe working order will be an integral part of your job.
