Creating Passion: 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 ID, 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.
