About the Role

We are seeking a dependable and detail-oriented Paint Line Coordinator to join our 1st Shift manufacturing team. Working under general supervision, this position supports the automatic conveyor paint line by inspecting painted parts, accurately counting completed product, packaging and labeling parts, and ensuring customer-specific requirements are met before product moves to the next operation or is released for shipment.

This is a hands‑on manufacturing position where quality and accuracy are critical. The ideal candidate takes pride in their work, can maintain focus while performing repetitive tasks, and understands the importance of catching defects and quantity discrepancies before products reach the customer.

• Confirm parts-per-container, parts-per-skid, total quantities, skid weights, and other specified requirements.


• Investigate and resolve quantity discrepancies before completing paperwork or releasing product.


• Package, label, and stage completed parts according to customer and company requirements.


• Complete production, inspection, counting, and packaging documentation accurately.


• Use the ERP system to retrieve job information, record completed quantities and print required labels and documentation.


• Load, unload, move, and stage materials using pallet jacks, forklifts, and other approved material‑handling equipment.


• Communicate quality concerns, missing parts, count discrepancies, and packaging issues promptly to supervisors or appropriate team members.


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


• Follow all company policies, quality standards, work instructions, and OSHA safety requirements.


• Perform other duties as assigned.

Minimum Qualifications

• High school diploma or GED preferred.


• 1–3 months of related manufacturing, production, inspection, packaging, or material‑handling experience preferred; equivalent experience may be considered.


• Strong attention to detail and ability to maintain concentration during repetitive inspection and counting tasks.


• Ability to identify visible paint, finish, and surface defects.


• Ability to accurately count parts and verify quantities.


• Basic math skills, including addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.


• Ability to read and understand basic work instructions, job orders, safety information, and customer requirements.


• Ability to learn and use an ERP system and basic production technology.


• Ability to follow standardized inspection, packaging, and documentation procedures.


• Strong communication skills and willingness to report quality or quantity concerns.


• Ability to safely operate material‑handling equipment after completing required training or certification.

Physical Requirements

• Ability to stand for extended periods and frequently walk throughout the work area.


• Frequent use of hands and arms for handling, inspecting, counting, packaging, and moving parts.


• Ability to occasionally sit, bend, stoop, crouch, kneel, reach, speak, and hear.


• Frequently lift and/or move materials weighing up to 30 pounds and occasionally lift and/or move up to 50 pounds.


• Ability to visually inspect parts for extended periods and identify differences in paint coverage, finish, color, and surface condition.


• Requires close vision, color recognition, depth perception, peripheral vision, and ability to adjust focus.
