Paint Supervisor Opportunity

Elevation Recruitment Group are excited to be exclusively partnered with a well-established manufacturing business in Doncaster to recruit a Paint Supervisor to lead its paint-line operation and a team of approximately 10 employees.

This is a hands-on leadership position rather than a desk-based role. You’ll take ownership of the day-to-day running of the paint department, ensuring the line operates safely, efficiently and consistently delivers the required quality standards.

Alongside your leadership experience, you must have previous experience working with industrial paint, coating or anodising processes. You’ll understand the importance of process control, surface preparation, quality standards and maintaining consistent finishes within a production environment.

Working Hours

  • 8am–4pm, Monday to Friday

Salary

  • £35,000–£42,000

Duties

  • Taking full ownership of the day-to-day operation and performance of the paint line
  • Leading a team of approximately 10, including shift leaders, operators and quality control employees
  • Coaching, developing and motivating the team to create an engaged and accountable culture
  • Managing production plans to ensure output, quality, cost and delivery targets are achieved
  • Overseeing paint and coating processes to ensure products meet the required finish and quality standards
  • Maintaining effective process controls across areas such as preparation, application, curing and inspection
  • Investigating paint defects, quality concerns and production issues, implementing corrective actions where required
  • Monitoring productivity, downtime, scrap, rework and cost, and driving improvements against these measures
  • Working closely with maintenance to maximise equipment reliability and minimise line downtime
  • Ensuring paint materials, chemicals and consumables are managed safely and effectively
  • Maintaining full compliance with health, safety and environmental requirements
  • Promoting continuous improvement across the department

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
