Minimum 5 years of hands-on experience in industrial painting, preferably in a fabrication or heavy manufacturing setting
Familiarity with surface preparation methods, spray systems, and blast equipment operations
Experience interpreting and applying specifications such as ISO 12944, SSPC/NACE/AMPP, or coating manufacturer guidelines
Ability to read and interpret fabrication drawings and technical coating instructions
Experience with startup or commissioning of new paint/blast equipment is a strong plus
Familiarity with quality practices, including DFT measurement, coating inspection, and documentation
AMPP/NACE coating certifications (e.g., C1-C3, Basic Coatings Inspector) are highly desirable
Strong communication skills and the ability to train, coach, and lead others over time
A sense of ownership for your work area, equipment, and process quality
Physically capable of lifting equipment/materials and working in a production environment
