Job Description & How to Apply Below
Your Responsibilities
Responsibilities
Surface Preparation
Perform pre-cleaning, degreasing, and removal of contaminants such as oil, grease, dust, rust, and scale using manual or mechanical methods (e.g., shot blasting, wire brushing).
Ensure surface profile meets paint manufacturer's requirements (anchor pattern, cleanliness).
Primer & Intermediate Coat Application
Apply primer coat uniformly ensuring no under-coating or over-spray.
Apply intermediate coats as specified in the paint system (e.g., epoxy, zincrich, polyamide-based primers).
Allow proper flash-off and curing time between coats.
Top Coat Application
Apply final topcoat (e.g., polyurethane, alkyd, or epoxy finish) with correct technique (HVLP, Airless spray) ensuring even finish, correct gloss, and required shade.
Paint Mixing and Material Handling
Mix paints and hardeners in correct ratios as per technical data sheet (TDS).
Label and use paint materials before expiry date; follow FIFO.
Ensure correct storage of paints, thinners, and solvents as per MSDS.
Quality Control Checks
Measure WFT (Wet Film Thickness) during application.
Measure DFT (Dry Film Thickness) using Elcometer after curing.
Record batch numbers, WFT/DFT results, touch-up details in paint logbook or ERP.
Perform visual inspection for defects such as pinholes, orange peel, drips, undercoating, or shade mismatch.
Process Compliance
Follow standard work instructions (WI), SOPs, and job cards for each order.
Ensure compliance with ISO 12944, ISO 8501-1, and customer-specific corrosion protection standards.
Apply correct masking, protection of machined/critical surfaces before painting.
Touch-Up & Repairs
Identify areas needing repair post-handling, welding, or transport.
Rework based on inspection reports while ensuring blending with original coating.
Equipment & Tool Handling
Operate spray painting equipment (conventional, airless, or electrostatic).
Clean and maintain spray guns, hoses, compressors, and filters.
Calibrate DFT meters and mixing scales as per schedule
Documentation & Traceability
Maintain detailed paint records including batch numbers, paint codes, operator , area covered, and environmental conditions.
Complete paint inspection reports, ERP entries, and rework records as required.
Workplace & 5S Maintenance
Maintain organized and safe workplace per 5S and TPM principles.
Ensure disposal of waste materials (rags, paint tins, thinner) in line with environmental norms.
Communication & Teamwork
Communicate issues such as improper surface condition, missing job cards, equipment malfunction, or paint mismatch to supervisor.
Collaborate with fabrication, quality, and logistics teams for paint priorities and sequencing.
