• Improve productivity, line efficiency and overall equipment effectiveness (OEE).
• Establish effective daily performance reviews and corrective action follow-up.

2. Robotic Painting & Process Engineering

• Oversee robotic and manual spray painting processes for automotive plastic components.
• Optimise spray parameters, gun settings, atomising air, paint flow, spray patterns and robot teaching.
• Ensure consistent paint application, film thickness, appearance and colour quality.
• Troubleshoot painting defects, including orange peel, runs, sagging, overspray, contamination, pinholes and uneven coating.
• Work closely with technical teams and equipment suppliers to resolve recurring process and equipment problems.

3. Quality & Process Stability

• Drive improvements in first-pass yield, defect rates, rework and paint consumption.
• Identify root causes of recurring paint defects and implement sustainable corrective actions.
• Maintain effective process controls covering paint mixing, viscosity, spray application, flash-off and curing.
• Ensure painting processes consistently meet automotive customer quality requirements.

4. Equipment Reliability & Preventive Maintenance

• Coordinate with Engineering and Maintenance teams to improve robot, spray equipment, conveyor, booth and oven reliability.
• Minimise unplanned downtime through effective troubleshooting and preventive maintenance.
• Ensure equipment settings and process parameters are properly documented, controlled and maintained.

5. Leadership & Continuous Improvement

• Lead, coach and develop production supervisors, technicians and paint shop personnel.
• Establish clear accountability, performance standards and technical discipline.
• Drive continuous improvement initiatives focused on productivity, quality, cost reduction and operational stability.
• Collaborate with Production Engineering, Quality, Maintenance and other departments to achieve plant objectives.

Requirements

• Diploma or Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Chemical Engineering or a related technical discipline.
• Preferably 8–10 years of relevant manufacturing experience, including substantial experience in automotive painting operations and team leadership.
• Strong practical knowledge of automotive plastic component painting, spray application and coating defects.
• Experience with robotic painting systems and automated spray equipment is highly preferred.
• Proven ability to troubleshoot technical painting issues and implement permanent corrective actions.
• Good understanding of paint process parameters, equipment reliability, production efficiency and quality control.
• Familiarity with automotive quality systems, including IATF 16949, is an advantage.
• Strong leadership, analytical, communication and problem-solving skills.

The Ideal Candidate

We are particularly interested in candidates who:

• Have successfully managed automotive paint shop operations.
• Can independently analyse and resolve complex painting process problems.
• Understand both the technical and operational aspects of robotic painting.
• Are comfortable being hands-on at the production floor.
• Have a proven record of reducing paint defects, improving productivity and developing capable technical teams.
• Take ownership of results rather than relying solely on equipment suppliers or external support.
