Coatings Manager – Industrial / Commercial

Compensation: up to $90k base + bonuses and incentive pay

Location: Valley Office – Regional Jobs

About the Opportunity

I’m partnered with a growing and well-respected industrial services company that is expanding its coatings division and looking to bring on a Coatings Manager to lead from the front.

This is a high-impact role for someone who understands protective coatings, specialty flooring systems, and surface prep — and wants to be part of a company that is actively growing its footprint.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Oversee and manage coatings projects from bid to completion
  • Lead crews performing:
    • Epoxy and resinous flooring systems
    • Industrial painting and protective coatings
    • Abrasive blasting / surface preparation
    • Structural steel coatings
  • Coordinate scheduling, manpower, and materials across multiple jobs
  • Ensure projects are delivered on time, on budget, and at a high standard
  • Work closely with estimating and operations teams to support project success
  • Maintain strong relationships with clients and field teams

What We’re Looking For

  • Experience managing industrial or commercial coatings projects
  • Strong background in:
    • Epoxy flooring / specialty coatings
    • Abrasive blasting and surface prep
    • Industrial painting systems
  • Ability to lead crews and manage multiple projects simultaneously
  • Knowledge of safety standards and quality control in coatings environments
  • Strong communication and leadership skills

Why This Role Stands Out

  • Top-end compensation for the right person (up to $125K+)
  • Opportunity to build and grow a division, not just manage jobs
  • Steady pipeline of industrial and commercial projects
  • Company with a strong reputation and room for advancement
  • Leadership team that understands the coatings business

The Bottom Line

If you’re someone who knows coatings, can run projects, and wants to be part of a company that’s growing — this is the kind of role where you can make a real impact.
