Production Manager

• Weigh, measure, and batch raw materials 
• Operate mixing and dispersion equipment correctly and safely
• Monitor viscosity, color match, fineness of grind, and other in-process quality checks at each stage
• Ensure correct sequence and timing of raw material addition per formulation order matters for dispersion quality and stability
• Carry out let-down, tinting, and thinning to match approved standards/samples

Quality Control Support:

• Draw samples at each production stage for QC testing viscosity, color, fineness, drying time before batch approval
  
• Do not release any batch to packaging without QC sign-off
  
•  Immediately flag any deviation (off-color, poor dispersion, contamination, wrong viscosity to the 
• Production Manager/QC — do not attempt to "fix" a failed batch without authorization

• Operate all production machinery (mixers, mills, blenders) per standard operating procedure (SOP) and safety guidelines
• Conduct routine cleaning of equipment between batches to prevent cross-contamination of colors/formulations
• Report any equipment fault, unusual noise, or breakdown immediately — do not attempt unauthorized repairs
• Participate in scheduled equipment maintenance/cleaning as directed

• Minimum of 3–5 years hands-on experience in paint/coatings production, or a related chemical manufacturing environment
• Working knowledge of paint types (emulsion, gloss/alkyd, primers) and their basic production processes
• Basic technical literacy: able to read and follow formulation sheets, SOPs, and complete production logs accurately
• OND/technical certification in chemistry, industrial chemistry, or related field is an advantage, though strong practical experience can substitute
• Precision and attention to detail: small measurement errors affect entire batch quality
• Good understanding of raw material behavior (pigment dispersion, resin compatibility, solvent evaporation)
• Physically fit: able to handle drums, lift moderate weights, and stand for extended periods
• Safety-conscious: respects PPE and hazard protocols without needing constant reminders
• Trustworthy and disciplined: handles valuable raw materials and must not divert, waste, or misreport usage
• Team player: production often requires coordinated handoffs between mixing, QC, and packaging stages
• Must be willing to relocate close to the factory.
