About the role

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.

Requirements

• 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 drywall finishing materials and tools.
• Attention to detail and a commitment to craftsmanship and quality output.
• Ability to work efficiently without compromising finish quality.

Working Conditions

• Factory environment with exposure to construction materials, tools, joint compound, and dust.
• Physical tasks including standing, reaching overhead, and performing repetitive hand and arm movements.
• Exposure to dust and fumes; proper respiratory protection and ventilation required.
• Some overtime or weekend work may be required based on production schedules.
