You will collaborate closely with cross-functional teams in Paint, Body-in-White, General Assembly, and Powertrain to ensure flawless finishes and continuous process improvements.
Key responsibilities include performing manual paint repairs on production vehicles, conducting surface preparation such as sanding, masking, priming, and cleaning to ensure optimal paint adhesion and finish quality. You will operate and maintain HVLP spray guns, paint booths, and other specialized tools and equipment. Inspecting painted surfaces for defects such as runs, sags, orange peel, dirt, or color mismatch, and correcting them using appropriate techniques is also essential. Additionally, you will apply basecoat, clearcoat, and single-stage paints with precision and consistency, follow standardized work instructions and safety protocols, and collaborate with Quality, Engineering, and Production teams to identify root causes of paint defects and implement corrective actions.
The ideal candidate will have a minimum of 5 years of hands-on experience in automotive paint application and repair, along with a High School Diploma or GED equivalent. Proficiency in color matching, blending, and refinishing techniques is essential, as well as strong attention to detail and commitment to craftsmanship. The ability to follow detailed process steps repetitively while maintaining quality, comfort working in a fast-paced, team-oriented manufacturing environment, and excellent communication and interpersonal skills are also required. Physical capability to lift up to 50 lbs, stand for extended periods, and perform repetitive motions is necessary. Willingness to work flexible shifts, including nights, weekends, and holidays as needed, experience in automotive bodywork and metal finishing, and familiarity with OEM paint systems and repair standards are preferred.
