This is not a painting position. Paint Line Hangers do not apply paint or powder. The role focuses on preparing, handling, inspecting, and moving parts through the paint-line process.

  • Identify and communicate quality or production issues and assist with troubleshooting.

  • Work in different areas of the paint line as production needs require.

  • Maintain a clean, organized, and safe work area.

  • Participate in quality programs and continuous-improvement initiatives.

  • Work cooperatively with team members to meet production and quality requirements.

  • Perform other duties as assigned.

Qualifications

  • Ability to work effectively in a team environment.

  • Flexible and willing to learn and perform different tasks throughout the paint line.

  • Strong attention to detail and commitment to quality.

  • Ability to read and understand work instructions, blueprints, safety rules, and operating procedures.

  • Basic math skills, including fractions and decimals.

  • Comfortable using digital tools and systems - ERP system.

  • Ability to work overtime when approved and scheduled.

  • Manufacturing experience preferred.

  • Previous powder-coating experience preferred.

This is a physically active manufacturing position. Employees must be able to:

  • Stand and walk for extended periods throughout the shift.

  • Frequently bend, stoop, reach, and stretch.

  • Perform repetitive tasks and movements.

  • Lift, carry, push, and pull parts and materials weighing up to 50 pounds.

  • Work in different areas of the paint line as needed.

  • Work safely in an environment where temperatures may become elevated due to the curing oven, particularly when working near the oven or handling recently cured parts.
