Technical Expertise in Coil Coating Chemistries:

Possess strong hands‑on experience in coil coating resin systems such as Polyester, Silicon‑Modified Polyester (SMP), Polyurethane (PUR), PVDF, UV-EB, Epoxy primers, and functional back‑coat systems for metal substrates. To work on sustainable & green range of products.

Substrate & Application Knowledge:

Demonstrate sound understanding of metal substrates (GI, GL, PPGI, Aluminum), surface pretreatment requirements, coating application via roll‑coaters, and curing through continuous high‑speed oven systems.

Market & Competitor Analysis:

Continuously track market trends, customer expectations, and competitor products in the coil coatings space to identify gaps, differentiation opportunities, and technology upgrades.

Performance & Property Optimization:

Develop formulations to meet critical coil coating performance requirements such as flexibility (T‑bend), adhesion, corrosion resistance, weatherability, gloss retention, and forming performance.

Color Matching & Shade Development:

Develop and standardize shades with high batch‑to‑batch consistency, ensuring color stability under high‑temperature curing conditions and long‑term exterior exposure.

Cost Optimization:

Drive formulation optimization initiatives to achieve cost competitiveness without compromising on performance, durability, or application robustness.

Raw Material Evaluation:





Identify, evaluate, and qualify new and alternative raw materials including resins, pigments, additives, and solvents suitable for high‑speed coil coating operations.

End‑to‑End Project Ownership:

Independently manage projects from concept development, lab validation, pilot trials, and customer approval through to successful commercialization.

Trial Coatings & Line Trials:

Plan and execute laboratory, pilot‑line, and full‑scale coil line trials; analyze results and fine‑tune formulations to ensure consistent line performance.

Develop leadership in Technical team:

Work closely with technical team members and guide them with critical aspects of business and impact TAT while maintaining quality of product world class.

Cross‑Functional Technical Support:

Work closely with Manufacturing, Process Engineering, Quality, Sales, and Supply Chain teams to ensure smooth scale‑up, production stability, and customer satisfaction.

Standards & Compliance:

Maintain strong working knowledge of relevant ASTM, ISO, EN, and customer‑specific coil coating standards and test methods.

Troubleshooting:

Provide technical support for internal manufacturing issues and customer‑reported performance concerns, including root‑cause analysis and corrective actions.

Process Standardization:

Standardize formulations,



application parameters, and process controls for new products across internal plants and outsourced production centers (OPCs).

SAP & PLM Systems Utilization:

Demonstrate working knowledge of SAP and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) systems for formulation management, bill of materials (BOM), change management, data documentation, and effective coordination across functions.

Documentation & Record Keeping:

Maintain detailed technical documentation including formulations, test data, trial reports, approvals, and revision histories for all development projects.

Coordination & Communication:

Ensure effective coordination with internal stakeholders and external partners to maintain alignment, timelines, and technical clarity.

Safety & IMS Compliance:

Follow and continuously improve safety, health, and environmental practices; maintain compliance with IMS requirements and support audit readiness through proper documentation.
