£28k - £32k | Welwyn Garden City
The coating is only as good as the surface beneath it.
At AFT Fluorotec Coatings, we apply high-performance fluoropolymer coatings to precision components for aerospace, defence, motorsport, oil and gas, and industrial customers. Before any coating goes on, the surface has to be right. That is where you come in.
We are looking for a Surface Preparation Technician to join our production team in Welwyn Garden City on a full-time, permanent basis.
What you will be doing
You will be responsible for preparing customer components ahead of the coating process, including cleaning, masking, grit blasting, and surface profiling. You will inspect prepared surfaces, complete job cards and quality records, and flag any non-conformances before a component moves to the coating line. It is hands-on, precise, and important work.
What we are looking for
You do not need a background in coatings or surface preparation specifically, although it is a bonus if you have one. What matters more is that you:
* Take pride in doing a job properly and to specification
* Are comfortable in a physical, hands-on production environment
* Have the attention to detail to follow written procedures and spot when something is not right
* Are reliable, self-motivated, and a genuine team player
Full training on all equipment and processes is provided from day one.
What you will get
* Stable, permanent employment with a well-established specialist business
* Structured training and a clear path to develop into a skilled coating technician role
* A close-knit team environment where your work directly affects the quality of the finished product
If you take your work seriously and want to build a skill in a genuinely specialist field, we would like to hear from you.
