Job description

Description

Summary:

Powder Coat Technicians are the hands-on team behind our powder coating production line — preparing parts for coating, masking critical surfaces with precision, operating the equipment that applies the finish, and inspecting and finishing parts as they come off the line. This is fast-paced, detail-driven manufacturing work where accuracy and consistency matter at every stage. We're looking for people who already bring hands-on coating, painting, or production-line experience and are ready to contribute from day one.

• Follow work instructions, part specifications, and quality standards specific to the assigned station
• Prepare, inspect, mask, coat, or finish parts as assigned, ensuring each part meets the quality standard for that stage of the process
• Inspect parts at each stage for defects, damage, contamination, or masking/coating issues, and flag or escalation as appropriate
• Maintain accurate production counts, batch records, or quality documentation as required by the assigned station
• Communicate and coordinate with team members at adjacent stations to maintain consistent line flow and avoid bottlenecks
• Maintain a clean, organized, and safe work area at whichever station is assigned
• Support inventory and supply needs relevant to the assigned station (blast media, masking materials, powder, etc.)
• Participate in training to build skills across multiple stations and support progression within the Powder Coat job family (Powder Coat I, II, and III)
• Identify and report minor equipment or process issues; elevate larger issues to the Supervisor/Lead
• Support onboarding or peer training of newer team members as experience develops
• Contribute ideas for process improvement, defect reduction, and efficiency across the line
