We are looking for a skilled Paint Sprayer to join our Manufacturing Operations team at Gaydon. This is an exciting opportunity to work on some of the most desirable vehicles in the world, applying your expertise to achieve exceptional quality standards within a fast-paced automotive manufacturing environment.
As a Paint Sprayer, you will be responsible for the preparation and application of paint finishes to vehicle bodies and components, ensuring every vehicle meets Aston Martin's exacting quality standards. Working as part of the Paint Strategy and Operations team, you will inspect vehicles prior to painting, identify any body defects and carry out all necessary preparation activities, including applying adhesion promoters, degreasing and tacking off surfaces.
You will use hand spray techniques to apply base coats and clear coats to Aston Martin vehicles and components, ensuring a consistent, smooth and high-quality finish. A key part of the role will involve removing contaminants between coats, maintaining spray equipment and work areas, and ensuring all processes are completed safely, efficiently and in accordance with Aston Martin manufacturing standards.
Working closely with Group Leaders, Lead Technicians, quality teams and fellow technicians, you will help maintain productivity and quality targets whilst supporting continuous improvement across the paint process. There may also be opportunities to support other areas of the paint operation, including vehicle preparation and polishing, depending on business requirements.
We're looking for candidates with previous experience in automotive paint spraying, refinishing or vehicle body and paint operations. You will have a strong understanding of paint application techniques, surface preparation methods, paint correction processes and different automotive paint finishes. An exceptional eye for detail, excellent hand-eye coordination and the ability to maintain high standards under pressure are essential.
You should possess relevant automotive body and paint qualifications, such as a BTEC in Vehicle Technology, City & Guilds qualifications in Vehicle Body and Paint Operations, or IMI awards in Vehicle Body and Paint Operations. Experience in vehicle preparation, paint and polish processes is highly desirable, while an NVQ in automotive production, repair or paint application would be advantageous.
We are seeking individuals who are team-oriented, accountable and proactive, with a reliable and efficient approach to work. In return, you'll have the opportunity to develop your career within one of the world's most prestigious automotive brands, with future progression opportunities into Lead Technician and Group Leader positions.
This is your chance to contribute to the creation of truly extraordinary vehicles and become part of a team dedicated to delivering manufacturing excellence every day.
