About this role
PRODUCTION MANAGER - SUMMER 2027 (Etobicoke)
Student Works Painting is hiring a Production Manager for the 2027 season in Etobicoke. You'll run the day-to-day production of a student painting business: managing crews, scheduling jobs, and making sure every project is finished on time and to standard. This is a real management role - you'll be the operator's right hand all summer.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
Manage and schedule painting crews across multiple job sites
Be the on-site point person for clients - updates, walkthroughs, quality checks
Order paint and materials, keep jobs on schedule and on budget
Train new painters and hold the crew to a quality standard
Flag problems early and solve them on the spot
WHAT YOU GET
Commission-based pay - a percentage of the production you run, so your earnings scale with your results
Full training program starting in the preseason, no painting experience required
Genuine management experience: hiring input, scheduling, client relations, and a summer of leading a team
A reference and a resume line that actually means something
WHAT YOU NEED
Valid driver's licence and your own vehicle (you'll travel between job sites daily)
Available full-time May through August, plus preseason training commitments starting in January
Organized, decisive, and comfortable giving direction to a crew of your peers
Painting or trades experience is an asset, not a requirement
Apply here and we'll be in touch about next steps.
