Painter AMM Group Germany

Introduction: The Role of Surface Finishing in Aerospace Manufacturing

In the aerospace industry, every component must meet the highest standards of performance, safety, and durability. The final layer of paint and sealant on an aircraft is far more than a cosmetic finish; it is a critical protective shield. This layer defends against corrosion, extreme temperatures, and environmental stressors, directly contributing to the aircraft’s longevity and structural integrity. The professionals who apply these coatings are essential artisans in the manufacturing process, combining technical skill with meticulous attention to detail.

AMM Group is seeking a skilled and dedicated Painter and Sealer to join our production team in Oberpfaffofen, Germany. This role is central to our series production line, where you will be responsible for the priming, painting, and sealing of vital aircraft components. If you have a background in industrial painting and are looking for a career where precision matters, we invite you to apply and become a part of the high-stakes world of aviation manufacturing.

A Detailed Overview of the Painter and Sealer Role

As a Painter and Sealer at AMM Group, you will be a key player in the final stages of the component manufacturing process. Your work ensures that every part leaving our facility not only meets rigorous aesthetic standards but, more importantly, complies with strict aviation safety and quality regulations. This is a hands-on role that demands a steady hand, a keen eye for detail, and a deep understanding of materials and processes.

Your primary responsibilities will include:

• Surface Preparation and Priming: Meticulously preparing component surfaces to ensure optimal adhesion and finish quality. This includes cleaning, sanding, and applying adhesion promoters as specified in technical documentation.

• Paint Application: Executing precise painting of components and assemblies using both spray guns and brushes. You will be responsible for mixing paints to exact specifications and adjusting painting devices for consistent, even coverage.

• Sealing Operations: Applying specialized aviation sealants with guns and brushes, followed by careful smoothing with spatulas to create seamless, protective barriers. This process is critical for weatherproofing and maintaining cabin pressure.

• Quality Control and Documentation: Performing regular checks based on detailed inspection instructions. You will be responsible for documenting your work to ensure full traceability and compliance with aviation standards.

• Equipment and Material Management: Preparing, maintaining, and cleaning all painting devices and equipment. This includes the precise mixing of paints, primers, and sealants according to technical data sheets.

• Process Coordination: Safely transporting treated components to drying or curing stations, ensuring they are handled correctly throughout the production workflow.

Who Are We Looking For? The Ideal Candidate Profile

We are looking for a candidate who takes pride in their craft and understands the importance of quality in an aviation environment. The ideal professional is reliable, precise, and committed to following procedures to the letter.

Required Qualifications & Skills:
