A bit about us:

We are conducting a confidential search on behalf of an established, growth-minded manufacturer with a reputation for high-quality, precision-coated products used across the automotive and industrial sectors. The company is investing in its paint operation and needs a hands-on leader to take full ownership of the department - and the freedom to make it best-in-class.

As Paint Supervisor, you are the go-to leader and technical authority for everything that runs through the paint department - with support of offline assembly and adjacent operations as the business needs them. You will run the floor day to day, troubleshoot the process when it drifts, and coach a team that takes pride in a flawless finish.

This is a role for someone who is equally comfortable reading a control chart, diagnosing a misbehaving spray system, and developing the people around them. You will own safety, quality, delivery, cost, and productivity for the area - and you will have real influence over how the operation evolves.

Job Details

What You'll Own:

• Run the floor. Lead daily operations across multiple paint lines and assigned assembly work, hitting production, quality, and delivery targets shift after shift.
• Plan the work. Build and manage paint and assembly schedules around customer demand, WIP, finished-goods inventory, and available capacity.
• Keep it running. Monitor, troubleshoot, and perform minor repairs on conveyors, pumps, spray systems, ovens, pretreatment, and related process equipment.
• Solve the hard problems. Serve as the lead technical resource for coating defects, process variation, equipment failures, and production disruptions.
• Control the inputs. Manage WIP and finished-goods levels plus raw materials - paint, chemicals, packaging, and consumables - so the line never waits.
• Own the numbers. Establish, track, and report KPIs: throughput, quality, scrap, downtime, OEE, inventory accuracy, labor efficiency, and on-time delivery.
• Make it better. Drive continuous-improvement initiatives across paint quality, process capability, equipment reliability, productivity, and cost.
• Partner across the plant. Work shoulder-to-shoulder with Engineering, Maintenance, Quality, and Operations on improvements, launches, and corrective actions.
• Dial in the process. Support paint process development - parameter optimization, validation, trial runs, and documentation - and hold the standard on chemistry and controls.
• Stay compliant. Ensure environmental, permit, waste-management, emissions, and chemical-handling requirements are consistently met.
• Close the loop on quality. Investigate quality concerns and customer complaints with structured problem-solving, then implement corrective actions that stick.
• Grow the team. Train, coach, and mentor paint and assembly members to raise technical skill, safety awareness, and overall performance.

What You'll Bring

• 5+ years of manufacturing leadership experience - ideally in paint, coating, finishing, or automotive manufacturing environments.
• Strong hands-on experience with industrial or automotive paint operations, including both solvent-based and water-based systems.
• Deep technical knowledge of paint application equipment, curing processes, and coating-defect analysis.
• A proven track record troubleshooting paint process issues, equipment failures, and quality concerns on a live production floor.
• Experience running automated paint lines that support high-volume manufacturing.
• Working knowledge of environmental regulations tied to paint - VOC management, hazardous-waste handling, and air-permit compliance.
• Comfort with production scheduling, inventory management, KPI reporting, and workforce supervision.
• Sharp analytical and root-cause skills, the ability to read technical specs and engineering drawings, and solid Microsoft Office / reporting-system fluency.
• Excellent communication and people-development skills, and the composure to thrive when production priorities shift fast.
