Perform inspections, thickness testing, adhesion tests, and visual checks.
Address defects quickly, implement corrective actions, and maintain detailed quality records.

Safety & Compliance

Enforce all safety protocols, including proper PPE usage, hazardous material handling, ventilation, and environmental regulations.
Lead safety training and maintain a clean, organized 5S work environment.
Ensure compliance with EPA, OSHA, and company policies regarding coatings and waste management.

Maintenance & Inventory

Oversee preventive maintenance and repairs of all paint and powder coating equipment.
Manage inventory of powders, paints, chemicals, masking materials, and spare parts.
Collaborate with maintenance and engineering teams on equipment upgrades.

Required Qualifications

Experience

4+ years of hands-on experience in powder coating and/or liquid paint line operations.
2+ years in a supervisory or lead role in a manufacturing or metal fabrication setting.
Strong background in surface preparation (sandblasting, chemical pretreatment) and curing processes.

Education & Skills
