Full description
Experienced Striper / Striping Crew Member
Position Overview
The Experienced Striper is a skilled member of the field crew responsible for performing high-quality parking lot striping and pavement marking work under the daily direction of a Foreman. This position builds on the core expectations of a Crew Member while requiring demonstrated experience operating striping equipment, completing parking lot layouts, applying pavement markings, and producing accurate, professional finished work.
Experienced Stripers are expected to understand the technical requirements of striping work, work efficiently with limited task-level direction, identify potential layout or quality concerns, and support less-experienced crew members in developing proper striping techniques. While the Foreman remains responsible for jobsite leadership, safety, and overall execution, the Experienced Striper serves as a skilled craft resource who helps ensure striping work is completed safely, efficiently, and to Rainier's quality standards.

- Apply standard pavement markings, including parking stalls, directional arrows, lettering, numbers, curbs, crosswalks, and accessibility markings.
- Set up, operate, clean, and perform basic troubleshooting of striping machines and related equipment.
- Properly prepare surfaces and materials to promote clean application and a quality finished product.
- Identify layout, surface, equipment, or application issues that could affect finished quality and communicate concerns before proceeding.
- Assist with stencils, masking, chalk lines, snapping layouts, and other preparation required for striping operations.
