Paint Line Product Handler

Paint Line Product Handler | $18–$21/hr | 4-Day Work Week

PV Finishing (Owen Industries) – Carter Lake, IA (Near Downtown Omaha) | Mon–Thu, 6:00 AM – 4:30 PM

Be the Finishing Touch That Sets Us Apart.

At PV Finishing, quality doesn't just happen — it's built into every step of our powder coating process, including the hands that hang, inspect, and move every part through our line. We're looking for a Paint Line Product Handler who takes pride in precision, moves with purpose, and understands that the final product is only as good as the care put into it.

This is a hands-on, active role on a 4-day work week with a 3-day weekend. Occasional OT on Fridays as workload permits.

The Details

• Starting pay: $18.00–$21.00/hr depending on experience
• Hours: Mon–Thu, 6:00 AM – 4:30 PM
• Schedule: 4-day work week — 3-day weekends

What You'll Do

• Hang and unhang parts with care and precision, following the Paint System Tech's workflow and sequence
• Ensure proper spacing and positioning of parts on the line to guarantee even, consistent coating coverage
• Inspect each piece for quality issues — light spots, drips, coating inconsistencies — and flag anything that doesn't meet our standards
• Keep your workspace clean, organized, and safe while contributing to an efficient, high-output production line
• Support the overall powder coating process and assist the team where needed to keep production on schedule

What We're Looking For

• Strength and stamina — able to lift and move heavy materials safely and repeatedly throughout the shift
• A sharp eye for detail and a genuine drive for quality in everything you do
• Reliable, focused, and able to maintain a steady pace in a fast-moving production environment
• Powder coating experience is a plus — but not required, we'll train the right candidate
• Previous experience in manufacturing or a hands-on production role is helpful
• Safety-conscious and committed to following procedures

What's In It For You

✅ $18–$21/hr depending on experience ✅ 4-day work week — Mon through Thu ✅ 3-day weekends — most weekends ✅ Health, Dental & Vision insurance ✅ Life/AD&D and Disability coverage ✅ 401(k) with company match ✅ PTO and paid holidays — accrual begins immediately ✅ Wellness program with premium incentives ✅ Opportunities for growth and advancement within Owen Industries ✅ A supportive environment that values your effort and ideas

Benefits begin the 1st of the month after 30 days of employment.
