Job description

Protective Coatings Blaster-Painter (SSPC/NACE)

Protect what matters

Imagine a fabricated assembly rolling into your booth. You review the work order, confirm masking lines, check dew point and ambient conditions, and prep the blast pot. A precise abrasive blast reveals a clean, profiled surface ready for a high-performance coating. You mix to spec, fine-tune your spray pattern, and lay down a uniform coat-verifying film thickness and finish before the part moves to the next stage. Every step reflects your commitment to safety, quality, and teamwork.
