• Training & Development: Design and deliver hands‑on paint training programs for supervisors, leads, and technicians, focusing on application techniques, quality, safety, and Morgan Engineering Standards.

• Training Resources: Develop and maintain standardized SOPs, training materials, and digital learning resources across all locations

• Skills Certification: Evaluate and certify painters at various competency levels using the Painter Skills Matrix.

• Quality & Compliance: Partner with Quality and Warranty teams to investigate paint defects, identify root causes, and implement corrective actions.

Safe lifting skills are key as you occasionally handle files or computer printouts up to 25 pounds.
