Full Job Description

JOB OPENING: Paint Line Lead / Industrial Painter

Company: Reliable Manufacturing

Who We Are

Reliable Manufacturing is a fast-growing producer of gas meter settings and accessories for the Natural Gas Industry. As we expand our operations in Lancaster, we’re building out our paint line capabilities—and we’re looking for someone who’s not only solid on the fundamentals of industrial painting, but also excited to help shape the processes that will carry us into the future.

About the Role

We’re hiring a Paint Line Lead / Industrial Painter to lead the daily operation of our wet paint line. You’ll be hands-on with painting, equipment setup, and quality checks, while also helping develop workflows and efficiencies for a scaling manufacturing environment. If you enjoy improving systems, solving problems on the fly, and having your voice matter in how the department grows, you’ll thrive here.

What You’ll Do

- Run the day-to-day operations of the wet paint line—painting, prepping, mixing, spraying, and working directly with production needs.

- Establish, refine, and document paint line processes to improve flow, consistency, and throughput as our facility expands.

- Train and guide paint line team members; help set the tone for a safe, efficient, team-oriented work area.

- Ensure proper film thickness, finish quality, and adherence to customer and internal specs.

- Oversee paint mixing, viscosity checks, equipment setup, and booth cleanliness.

- Troubleshoot paint line or equipment issues and coordinate maintenance when needed.

- Track productivity and support scheduling to keep jobs moving on time.

- Maintain and promote safety practices, PPE use, and OSHA compliance.

What You Bring

- 3+ years of industrial/wet painting experience; leadership experience a plus.

- Strong understanding of spray equipment, surface prep, and paint application standards.- Ability to read job specs and maintain consistent, high-quality output.

- A mindset for continuous improvement—someone who naturally spots inefficiencies and enjoys finding solutions.

- Ability to work on your feet in a fast-paced manufacturing environment.

Why Join Reliable Manufacturing?

- Competitive compensation

- Health, dental, and vision benefits

- Paid time off and holidays

- Opportunities for overtime

- A supportive team that values new ideas

- Real potential to grow your role as our operations expand
