Thermal Spray Technician Trainee (Traveling)

Immediate Openings – Paid Training Starts March 23 – Richmond, VA

Travel the country. Learn a skilled trade. Get paid to train.

IGS is hiring Full-Time Thermal Spray Technician Trainees to join our traveling industrial coatings team. If you're dependable, physically tough, and ready to build a long-term career in heavy industry — we'll train you.

What You'll Get

• 32+ hours guaranteed

• Competitive hourly pay

• $64/day per diem

• Airfare, hotel & rental car paid while traveling

• Paid training in Richmond, VA (March 23 class)

• PPE & specialized tools provided

• Clear promotion path with performance-based raises

What You'll Do

• Apply protective industrial coatings using advanced HVAS equipment

• Operate blasting and spray equipment

• Work at heights, in confined spaces, and in industrial environments

• Travel 4–6 weeks at a time (U.S. & international projects)

• Follow strict safety and quality procedures

This is hands-on, physical work in real industrial environments — refineries, power plants, and heavy facilities.

What We're Looking For

• Strong work ethic and reliability

• Comfortable working 12-hour shifts for 7+ consecutive days

• Able to lift 50+ lbs

• Willing to travel extensively

• Valid driver's license required
