If you are a skilled industrial coatings professional who has developed strong floor leadership capabilities and want to command a premier finishing department, this is your ideal destination. Operating out of an immaculately clean, modern facility, our client is a highly stable, 40-year-old eco-forward manufacturing leader whose specialized capital systems enjoy a recession-proof global backlog.

• Operate premium industrial spray equipment to apply high-uniformity primers and specialized finish coatings within a state-of-the-art paint booth assembly.
• Utilize specialized pneumatic tools and surface prep equipment to ensure optimal material adhesion and defect-free finishes before final assembly.
• Maintain precise quality control metrics by using a standard physical measurement tape continuously to verify exact dimensions against engineering specifications.
• Mentor and cross-train technicians on proper application techniques, coating thicknesses, equipment maintenance, and strict departmental safety guidelines.

What We Are Looking For

• Proven finishing pedigree with 2 years of stable experience serving as a Lead Painter, Shop Foreman, or Production Supervisor within an industrial manufacturing setting.
• Hands-on gun proficiency backed by at least 1 year of professional experience operating industrial spray guns, managing lines, and calibrating regulators.
• Rigorous eye for detail with a verifiable track record of identifying coating defects and the absolute ability to read tape measures down to minor fractions instantly.
• Uncompromising reliability and strong work ethic, looking to maximize standard hours and leverage optional overtime opportunities (up to 1.5x pay rate).
• Dedicated professional longevity with a stable work history, a collaborative team-first attitude, and a local residency within a comfortable 45-minute drive of the facility.
