Job Summary:

Sandblasters operate specialized tools and machinery that fire high-powered jets of sand or other abrasives at metal and other similarly hard surfaces to remove paint, grime, old adhesives, rust and other imperfections from the surface so that it can be painted and refinished.

Industrial Painters are skilled trade workers focused on specialized techniques specific to industrial settings such as marine (ships, pipes, steel buildings, etc). They have a strong eye for detail, know how to determine what paint and equipment is needed for the surface being painted, and any special considerations required through assessment of the job.
