Familiarity with powder coating equipment, spray guns, curing ovens, and safety certifications such as OSHA training are commonly required. Attention to detail, reliability, and the ability to work collaboratively in a team-oriented environment are valuable soft skills. These abilities ensure high-quality, consistent finishes and help maintain a safe, efficient production workflow.
