Salary: $70,000 - $70,000 per year 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. Why join us?

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. Interested in hearing more?
