JOB DESCRIPTION



Solving challenges is the very foundation of who we are.

After all, in the beginning, our founder, sea captain Robert Fergusson, didn't particularly care about paint.

When he founded our company in 1921, he just wanted to keep his ship intact and stumbled upon a valuable solution.

Today, that discovery is Rust-Oleum Corporation.


The same passion that drove the Captain to spend his next few years creating the world's first rust-preventative paint still drives us today.

When we see a problem, we work diligently until we've perfected a solution, which has led to some of the most cutting edge, durable and innovative products in the industry.

Our creative and talented team of over 2000 people across every corner of the world, help us remain the global leader in protective paints and coatings for both home and industry.


As our Batchmaker you are to produce paint and related products by setting up, operating, or tending machines to mix or blend materials, such as chemicals, liquids, color pigments, explosive ingredients, or rust-proofing materials.


Here's what you can expect every day:

• Follow batch cards precisely and document results


• Weigh or measure chemicals, coatings, or paints before adding them to machines.


• Select appropriate coatings, paints, or sprays, or prepare them by mixing substances according to formulas, using automated paint-mixing equipment.
