Title: Junior Wood Finisher / Spray Booth Technician
Location: Philadelphia, PA

Shift: Second (2:00 PM-10:30 PM)
Compensation: $19-$22 per hour
Department: Manufacturing - Spray Booth

About the Role: Join a team that prizes precision and craftsmanship. In this role, you'll execute the finishing steps that give our Pilates apparatus its look, feel, and durability. You've already spent time in a finishing booth (or a closely related spray environment) and are ready to apply consistent technique in a production setting.

What You'll Do:

Surface prep & sanding: DA/orbital sanding, hand-sanding, edge-breaks, grit sequencing, and surface cleaning prior to finishing.

Stain, seal, and topcoat: Mix, strain, and apply clear coatings with HVLP for even film build, color match, and clarity.

Touch-ups & defect repair: Blend and correct minor defects (abrasion, nibs, fisheyes, light scratches) and rework per spec.

Spray booth operations: Stage parts, maintain filters and cleanliness, manage flash/cure times, and document materials used when needed.

Inspection: Check adhesion, coverage, sheen, and uniformity; flag inconsistencies and follow rework standards.

Safety: Use all PPE, follow chemical-handling and ventilation protocols, and maintain a tidy, organized booth.

What You Bring:

12+ months in wood/cabinet/furniture finishing
OR adjacent spray-finishing (e.g., auto refinish, industrial coatings, millwork).

Working knowledge of HVLP equipment, spray patterns, tip selection, and basic gun maintenance.

Strong hand-eye coordination, consistent technique, and attention to detail.

Comfort with solvents/finishes and shop tools; ability to lift up to 50 lbs and stand for extended periods.

Reliable, team-oriented, organized, and coachable.

Equivalent experience welcome: Cabinet shop finisher, furniture finisher, millwork spray tech, or auto body prep/spray with strong sanding and coating discipline.

What You'll Get:

Craftsmanship & brand legacy: Your work ships worldwide and is trusted by top studios and instructors.
Clean, safety-first environment: PPE provided; well-maintained booth and clear work instructions.
Predictable schedule: Consistent second-shift hours for those who prefer afternoons/evenings.

Benefits: Multiple PPO/HMO options; low-cost dental; company-provided short- and long-term disability; no-cost life insurance; paid holidays, sick time, and vacation.

The company is in the middle of a significant transformation, expanding from its newspaper roots into a multimedia operation spanning digital, video, podcasts, live events, and data-driven civic engagement. NMG properties include the flagship Newsday and Newsday.com, NewsdayTV, the Newsday Live events series, and nextLI, a civic research and community forum platform funded by The Rauch Foundation.

A new 130,000-square-foot headquarters in Melville features a broadcast-quality TV studio and multimedia production space. Newsday Live produces a growing calendar of food and wine tastings, author talks, sports Q&As, concerts, and community events.
