About the role
ABOUT THE ROLE
Sherwin-Williams is a global leader in paints and coatings. We are looking for a Colour Formulator to join our team in Hamilton, working in colour creation and formulation across our specialist coatings range.
Based at our Hamilton distribution and warehouse site, you will be responsible for producing accurate, high-quality colour formulations for our customers.
WHAT YOU WILL BE DOING
· Formulating colour for a range of specialist coatings
· Matching and modifying colour for automotive, industrial and wood coatings across a range of colours and hues
· Maintaining accurate records and colour databases
· Reporting on work in progress
· Working safely and in line with our health and safety policies
WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR
Experience in automotive or industrial coatings - particularly in colour formulation and the application of two-pack polyurethane and acrylic coating systems - would be an advantage, but it is not essential. Full training will be given to the right person.
What matters most to us is:
· Excellent attention to detail and a methodical approach
· Problem-solving ability and a willingness to think creatively
· Confidence working with databases and technical information
· Strong time management and the ability to juggle competing priorities
· Good communication skills, and the ability to work well in a team or on your own
· Flexibility and adaptability to handle a varying workload
· A strong work ethic and reliability
· Willingness to undergo a pre-employment security check and drug test
