About the role

Role Scope

  • Own the paint line and surface treatment: pretreatment, coating application, and cure at production rate.
  • Engineer the process: chemistry, film builds, and transfer efficiency dialed against spec and cost.
  • Commission the line and qualify coatings with suppliers to the performance standard the product needs.
  • Hold quality and environmental compliance together: appearance, adhesion, salt spray, and permits.

What We're Looking For

  • You've engineered industrial paint or coating operations, liquid or powder, at scale.
  • You've solved adhesion, contamination, or cure problems to root cause.
  • You know pretreatment chemistry and manage it with your supplier, not by faith.
  • You've run a line under air permit constraints and kept it compliant.
  • You test to standards and act on the results.

Bonus: Powder coating at heavy scale. E-coat exposure. Paint robot programming. Steel substrate coatings.
