Quality Controller - Lab

To perform laboratory testing and quality control activities for metal manufacturing, sandblasting, pretreatment, and powder-coating operations, ensuring compliance with specifications, customer requirements, and quality standards while supporting continuous improvement.

• Conduct and record coating tests including DFT, gloss, adhesion, impact, flexibility, hardness, scratch resistance, and salt-spray testing.
• Performhot-water immersion/boiling tests as required and evaluate results against specifications.
• Maintaintraceability of test samples, accurate records, and laboratory reports.
• Ensuretesting equipment is calibrated and maintained.
• Reportnon-conforming results and ensure affected products are controlled.
• Followlaboratory safety and chemical handling procedures.

• Monitorsandblasting parameters and inspect surfaces for cleanliness, contamination, defects, and required surface profile.
• Verifyabrasive quality, compressed-air cleanliness, and compliance with surface preparation standards.
• Document findings and ensure corrective actions are completed before furtherprocessing.

• Monitorpretreatment processes and chemical parameters including concentration,pH, conductivity, temperature, and rinse-water quality.
• Verifybath condition, cleaning effectiveness, and process controls.
• Coordinate with Production, Maintenance, and suppliers to resolve deviations andverify corrective actions.

• Monitorpowder application parameters, coating thickness, and curing conditions.
• Inspectcoated products for adhesion, appearance, curing, colour, gloss, andthickness defects.
• Supportin-process and final inspections and assist in root-cause analysis and corrective actions for coating issues.

• Maintaininspection, test, calibration, and non-conformance records.
• Conduct audits and support corrective/preventive actions using structured problem-solving tools.
• Monitor quality trends and support TPM, Lean, and Six Sigma initiatives to reducedefects and rework.

• Plandaily laboratory activities and ensure timely completion of tests and reports.
• Guidequality personnel on approved procedures and safety requirements.
• Coordinate with internal departments and suppliers on quality-related matters.
• Escalate critical quality issues and provide timely management updates.

• 5–7years of experience in laboratory testing, quality control, powder coating, metal manufacturing, or surface treatment operations.
• Knowledge of coating inspection and testing methods, sandblasting controls, pretreatment chemistry, and powder-coating processes.
• Abilityto interpret test data, prepare reports, and use Microsoft Office applications.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, communication, and coordination skills with afocus on quality and safety.
