Paint Leadman – Modular Buildings

About the role

Mission Critical Group (MCG) is an end-to-end power systems and solutions provider that accelerates time-to-power and delivers scalable, resilient infrastructure for mission-critical environments. By integrating engineering, manufacturing, modular deployment, and lifecycle services under one platform, MCG streamlines execution and brings complex projects online faster—without compromising performance. The Paint Leadman controls the surface texturing, sandblasting, priming, and commercial-grade chemical coating of all raw steel frames and panel assemblies, dictating workflow through environmental prep bays to establish durable corrosion protection on every building system.

Responsibilities

• Manage a specialized team of Paint Leadmen, sandblasters, and industrial spray painters, establishing tight scheduling to match workshop and construction yard staging.
• Monitor and verify sandblast profiles, wet film thickness (WFT), and dry film thickness (DFT) to ensure coating specifications are met.
• Enforce strict compliance regarding hazardous material handling, respiratory protective equipment (PPE), and spray booth ventilation systems.
• Read project coating schedules to ensure custom paint formulations, colors, and mil-thickness levels exactly match the client's engineering requirements.
• Ensure modular PDC buildings possess industrial-grade corrosion resistance required for harsh field environments.

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience in industrial sandblasting, commercial airless spray applications, and multi-part epoxy coating systems.
• Proven competence utilizing specialized coating gauges (DFT/WFT tools) and verifying substrate quality.
• Experience managing paint crews and executing strict chemical environmental protocols safely.

Preferred Qualifications

• NACE (National Association of Corrosion Engineers) or AMPP coating inspector certifications.
• Familiarity coating heavy structural machinery or modular metal utility enclosures for offshore or coastal environments.

Success Measures

• Consistent compliance with technical dry film thickness (DFT) metrics without runs, sags, or pinholes.
• Zero safety or environmental compliance infractions related to chemical waste or booth emissions.
• On-time processing of frames and panels, preventing chemical cure delays from pausing the assembly lines.

Physical Requirements

• Ability to work inside active spray booths wearing full fresh-air respiratory hoods and protective suits.
• Frequent overhead spraying, reaching, bending, and handling industrial spray lines under pressure.
• Ability to pass mandatory annual pulmonary function tests and respirator fit examinations.
