Powder Coater

Location: Hitchin, Hertfordshire

Pay: From £14.00 per hour, with pay reviewed based on performance and experience

Hours: Monday-Thursday, 7:00am-4:00pm | Friday, 7:00am-1:30pm

Position: Temp-to-Perm, Full-Time

The Role

We're recruiting for an experienced Powder Coater to join a small, established team based in Hitchin.

This is a temp-to-perm opportunity for someone who takes genuine pride in their work and is looking for a long-term position with a company where the quality of the finish really matters.

The successful candidate will initially join on a temporary basis, with the opportunity to secure a permanent position following a successful temp-to-perm period.

Our client has a relaxed, close-knit working environment where everyone knows their role and works well together. They're looking for someone with a similar attitude - reliable, committed and willing to become a valued long-term member of the team.

What You'll Be Doing

• Preparing components and surfaces ready for coating
• Setting up and operating powder coating equipment
• Applying powder coatings evenly and to the required finish
• Working to different specifications, colours and finishes
• Inspecting completed work and maintaining high quality standards
• Identifying and correcting issues with the finish where required
• Keeping your work area and equipment clean and well maintained
• Working effectively alongside the wider production team
• Following relevant health and safety procedures

What We're Looking For

Ideally, you'll have at least 2 years' experience working on a powder coating line and be comfortable with the day-to-day requirements of the role.

Just as importantly, the client is looking for the right attitude.

Reliability, attendance, commitment and pride in your work are essential. This role will suit someone who genuinely cares about producing a good finish and wants a long-term position they can settle into.

You'll already have a good understanding of powder coating, but there will be support and additional training along the way.

What's on Offer

• Starting rate of £14.00 per hour
• Pay to be reviewed as you progress
• Temp-to-perm opportunity
• Full-time employment
• Monday-Thursday, 7:00am-4:00pm
• Friday, 7:00am-1:30pm
• Early finish every Friday
• Stable daytime working hours
• Small, friendly and relaxed team
• Opportunity to secure a permanent position
• Opportunity to become a long-term member of an established business
