What are epoxy coating jobs?

Epoxy coating jobs involve the application of epoxy resin to surfaces such as floors, countertops, or industrial equipment to provide a durable, protective, and often decorative finish. Workers in this field prepare surfaces by cleaning and sometimes repairing them before applying the epoxy. The process requires attention to detail to ensure an even, long-lasting coat, and may involve mixing chemicals, using specialized tools, and following safety protocols. Epoxy coatings are commonly used in commercial, industrial, and residential settings due to their strength and resistance to chemicals and wear.

  • Identify, document, and issue non-conformance reports (NCRs) and red-tag material when coating requirements are not met
  • Maintain inspection records and traceability using quality software and handheld devices
  • Support coating documentation and quality records prior to shipment
  • Perform offsite inspections as required
  • Work closely with painting and production teams to resolve coating-related quality issues

  • Strong understanding of:
    • Surface preparation standards
    • Coating application procedures

  • Standing and walking for extended periods
  • Lifting up to 50 pounds
