The Paint Tech Role

Key responsibilities:
- Run, monitor, and adjust the powder coat painting line to meet temperature, cure time, and film-build targets
- Perform spray application using electrostatic equipment with uniform coverage across varied parts
- Complete in-process and final checks; correct defects and document results to maintain quality standards
- Troubleshoot coating-system issues and complete routine upkeep using hand tools and safe work practices

Required skills/qualifications:
- Prior powder coat painting, spray painting, or similar manufacturing experience preferred

On the Line

Your day starts early on a four 10-hour shift schedule (Mon–Thu 5:00 am–3:30 pm), with possible overtime Friday (5:00 am–3:30 pm) and occasional Saturday hours (5:00 am–11:00 am). As the painter on the powder coat painting line, you’ll set up for the run, dial in the gun, and keep an eye on coverage and consistency as parts move through.

Throughout the shift, you’ll verify cure and thickness targets, catch surface issues before they become scrap, and keep the workflow moving with steady pace and excellent attendance. When something looks off, you’ll work through the cause—settings, grounding, or material flow—so the finish stays uniform and the manufacturing schedule stays on track.
