You consistently achieve results, even under tough circumstances, and you take pride in delivering work to a high standard. For This Role, You Will Need: * Practical experience in industrial spray painting, ideally within a manufacturing, engineering, or workshop environment. * Hands‑on experience using both conventional and airless spray systems for industrial coatings. * Skill in applying multi‑coat and two‑pack paints to achieve specified film thickness and a consistent, high‑quality finish. * Ability to identify and address common spray painting issues (e.g., runs, orange peel, insufficient coverage) and adjust technique or equipment settings as needed. * Experience measuring and verifying coating thickness and quality using appropriate test methods and equipment. * Experience operating overhead cranes and attachments to safely move products and components. * Experience using hand and power tools safely as part of preparation and finishing processes. * Familiarity with working under structured health, safety, and environmental procedures, and a strong personal commitment to safe work practices. * Attention to detail and the ability to follow work instructions, specifications, and documentation accurately. * Strong teamwork mindset, reliability, and a willingness to support others across the operation when needed. * Relevant high‑risk work licences such as an overhead crane licence and LF forklift licence, or a willingness to obtain these with support. Preferred Qualifications That Set You Apart: * Experience in valve assembly or working with similar engineered mechanical products. * Previous experience in an engineering factory or heavy industrial environment. * Exposure to quality assurance systems and procedures, including documentation and non‑conformance reporting. * Formal training in manual handling and/or a current First Aid Certificate. * Experience contributing to continuous improvement initiatives related to safety, quality, or process efficiency. * Experience coaching or training others in spray painting techniques or safe work practices. * Comfort working in a customer‑focused environment, where quality, reliability, and on‑time delivery are critical.
