  • Inspect coated parts to verify proper coverage and finish quality.
  • Operate coating equipment independently with minimal supervision.
  • Troubleshoot routine process or equipment issues and communicate concerns when necessary.
  • Read and interpret engineering drawings and blueprints to determine coating requirements and work sequences.
  • Accurately record labor, complete job operations, and requisition materials using the company's software system.

We're looking for someone who has:

  • Experience working in a manufacturing environment, preferably in powder coating, industrial painting, spraying, or a related finishing process.
  • A general understanding of manufacturing processes.
  • The ability to read and interpret blueprints.
  • Strong attention to detail and commitment to producing high-quality work.
  • Good problem-solving skills and the ability to work independently.
  • A positive attitude and willingness to learn new skills.

We believe in developing our employees. As you gain experience, you could have opportunities to cross-train and build skills throughout our fabrication department, including:

  • TIG and MIG welding
  • Silver soldering
  • Programming and operating lasers
  • Programming and operating the press brake
  • Operating the shear
  • Sandblasting operations
