WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING
We are seeking a skilled Drywall Finisher to join our factory team and play a critical role in producing high-quality modular housing components. This role is responsible for taping, mudding, sanding, and finishing drywall seams, joints, corners, and fastener heads to create smooth, market-ready surfaces. The ideal candidate has strong experience with drywall finishing in a manufacturing or production environment, with a commitment to precision, clean work, and production-grade quality that minimizes rework downstream. RESPONSIBILITIES • Apply joint compound (mud) to drywall seams, joints, and fastener heads using taping knives and appropriate techniques for each coat. • Tape seams and joints with joint tape, feathering compound edges to create seamless transitions and minimize visible lines. • Finish corners, both inside and outside, using corner bead and compound to achieve straight, clean lines. • Sand finished surfaces between coats and prior to final inspection, achieving smooth, defect-free results ready for paint or other finishes. • Identify and repair imperfections, voids, and damage in drywall panels before mudding begins, coordinating with framers as needed. • Verify application specifications (fire-rated, moisture-resistant, sound-rated finishes) and apply appropriate finishing techniques for each application. • Mix, manage, and maintain joint compound at proper consistency to ensure quality application and minimize waste. • Inspect finished work against specifications and quality standards, addressing touch-ups or rework promptly. • Work efficiently to meet production schedules while maintaining finish quality standards that reduce or eliminate downstream rework. • Collaborate with drywall hangers, downstream trades, and supervisors to maintain production flow and handoff standards. • Communicate with supervisors to address challenges, material issues, and opportunities to improve workflow and efficiency. • Follow safety protocols, including proper dust containment and respiratory protection in the finishing environment. • Maintain tools in good condition and keep the work area organized and clean throughout the shift. QUALIFICATIONS • High school diploma or equivalent. • 3+ years of experience finishing drywall, preferably in manufacturing, commercial construction, or production environments. • Proficiency with drywall finishing techniques that produce smooth, defect-free surfaces ready for paint or final finishes. • Strong understanding of joint compound types, tape selection, and application methods for different seam conditions. • Familiarity with tools and equipment used in drywall finishing (e.g., taping knives, mud pans, sanders, corner tools, lifts). • Ability to read and interpret construction drawings and finish specifications. • Physical ability to perform tasks including standing for extended periods, working overhead or on ladders, and handling
