Powder Coat Technician

Summary:

Powder Coat Technicians are the hands-on team behind our powder coating production line — preparing parts for coating, masking critical surfaces with precision, operating the equipment that applies the finish, and inspecting and finishing parts as they come off the line. This is fast-paced, detail-driven manufacturing work where accuracy and consistency matter at every stage. We're looking for people who already bring hands-on coating, painting, or production-line experience and are ready to contribute from day one.

Essential Duties & Responsibilities:

• Perform assigned production tasks at one or more stations along the powder coating line — sandblasting/surface prep, precision masking, powder application, or unloading/unmasking finished parts — based on experience and business need
• Follow work instructions, part specifications, and quality standards specific to the assigned station
• Prepare, inspect, mask, coat, or finish parts as assigned, ensuring each part meets the quality standard for that stage of the process
• Inspect parts at each stage for defects, damage, contamination, or masking/coating issues, and flag or escalate as appropriate
• Maintain accurate production counts, batch records, or quality documentation as required by the assigned station
• Communicate and coordinate with team members at adjacent stations to maintain consistent line flow and avoid bottlenecks
• Maintain a clean, organized, and safe work area at whichever station is assigned
• Support inventory and supply needs relevant to the assigned station (blast media, masking materials, powder, etc.)
• Participate in training to build skills across multiple stations and support progression within the Powder Coat job family (Powder Coat I, II, and III)
• Identify and report minor equipment or process issues; escalate larger issues to the Supervisor/Lead
• Support onboarding or peer training of newer team members as experience develops
• Contribute ideas for process improvement, defect reduction, and efficiency across the line

Preferred Education and Experience

• High school diploma or GED required
• Prior experience in powder coating, industrial painting, or a similar manufacturing/production environment required
• Experience with masking, electrostatic spray equipment, or precision finishing work preferred
• Experience working on an automated or high-volume production line preferred
• Vocational or technical training in industrial coatings, painting, or a related trade a plus
• Experience with quality inspection, batch documentation, or traceability procedures a plus
• Bilingual (English/Spanish) a plus, depending on team composition

Knowledge and Personal Attributes

• Strong attention to detail and commitment to quality
• Ability to follow written and verbal work instructions with minimal oversight
• Reliable attendance and ability to work at a steady production pace
• Comfortable in a hands-on, physically active manufacturing environment
• Good manual dexterity and hand-eye coordination
• Ability to apply prior experience to a new production environment quickly
• Works well as part of a coordinated team on a fast-moving line
