Precision Paint Prep & Anodize Operator – Aircraft Components

What will you do?

Prepare aircraft parts for a flawless finish. You'll clean, blast, etch, mask, anodize, sand, and support paint operations so components are ready for primer and paint—free of defects.

Where you'll spend your time

• Blast Booth: Suit up with a supply hose; handle heavy parts in high heat.
• Anodize Line: Get parts ready to rack; place parts into anodize tanks; rack precisely.
