• Operate powder coating equipment and sprayers to apply coatings consistently and accurately to parts and assemblies.
• Carry out post-powder-coating activities such as curing, cooling, and handling coated parts to maintain finish quality.
• Inspect coated parts visually and dimensionally to verify they meet company quality standards and customer requirements.
• Use hand and power tools safely to prepare, finish, and adjust parts during the coating process.
• Read and follow basic blueprints or work instructions to understand part requirements and coating specifications.

The work environment emphasizes teamwork, consistency, and adherence to quality standards, giving you the opportunity to develop and refine hands-on industrial and mechanical skills. A structured schedule provides predictable hours, while the variety of tasks in pre- and post-coating activities helps keep the workday engaging and dynamic.

You will work near moving equipment and machinery and perform frequent lifting up to 35 pounds and occasional lifting up to 50 pounds, as well as reaching and repetitive motions throughout the shift.
