Multiple offices in Illinois and Texas
We try to invest in our employees and ensure they feel cared about.
Employee safety always comes first
Commercial and industrial sites can be hazardous places to work, which is why Painters USA makes safety a top priority. We want to make sure you safely return to your family and loved ones after every work day.
If you are new to the industry, we will provide OSHA training so you can earn an OSHA 10 (or OSHA 30 for supervisors) card. You will also be trained on equipment and other topics related to the work you will do. Personal protective equipment like hard hats and protective eyewear are a necessity, plus we have added Covid 19 precautions as part of our safety program. Painters USA prioritizes the health and welfare of our employees and all people at every job site we work on.
Options for training and certification
Anyone can paint a wall, but our commercial and industrial services require much more than handling a paint brush. You will learn about surface cleaning and preparation, specialized paints and coating products, proper application, working with teams, maintaining workplace safety, and how to operate the commercial equipment we use. You will learn about concrete flooring systems and methods. Training is done in our offices or online.

Formal mentorship program
To ensure successful onboarding of new hires and the continued growth of existing employees, Painters USA sponsors a mentoring program we call the Ally Platoon. The mission of this program is to motivate, empower and encourage new hires, helping them become positive decision-makers. With guidance from a mentor, you will be introduced to a career ladder, beginning with the New Hire 90 Day Program and continuing with our NCCER Four Year Apprenticeship Program and various training and certification opportunities. If you choose to stay with us and advance your career at Painters USA, we develop an Individual Development Plan (IDP) in alignment with your goals and needs.
Shared values make us a family
Painters USA is more than a painting company. We think of all our employees as our family, and we expect honesty, trust, and mutual respect throughout all levels. With this approach, our people take great pride in teamwork and doing their best, making for more pleasant work and satisfied clients.
During the height of the Covid 19 pandemic in 2020, Painters USA was able to secure funding as an essential business. Since very little onsite work could be done, we used the money and the time to train employees via classes online, allowing them to develop more skills and continue getting a paycheck.
Welcoming women to construction
As a certified woman-owned business, we encourage female candidates to apply. While the work can be demanding, our projects are challenging, interesting, and highly collaborative. If you enjoy teamwork, Painters USA may be a good fit. If you like travel and variety of work for different commercial and industrial clients, Painters USA may be a good fit. Most importantly, know that we are committed to employee safety and security, every day and on every project. Have questions or just want to talk? We're happy to connect you with President Meg Cook or any of the other women working for Painters USA.
