Working as a powder coater: precision work in a technical field
Are you precise, do you have technical insight and do you like working with industrial coatings? Then a job as a powder coater is right up your street. Euro Planit offers you work for reliable companies where craftsmanship, quality and finishing are key. We mediate between experienced powder coaters and motivated starters who want to learn the trade.
A job as a powder coater offers a lot of variety, responsible work and good development opportunities. Discover below what the profession entails, what you need and why working via Euro Planit is a smart step for your technical career.


What does a powder coater do?
As a powder coater, you apply a powder coating to metals or other conductive materials. This is usually done in a special spray booth using electrostatic spray equipment. After application, the powder is cured in an oven, creating a durable and scratch-resistant coating.
You often work in a production or metal company where parts, constructions or products are finished in different colours and layers. Proper preparation and accurate finishing are essential here.
What are the duties of a powder coater?
- Pre-treatment of metals (degreasing, blasting, hanging)
- Setting up and operating spraying equipment
- Manual or automatic powder coating of products
- Checking layer thickness and quality
- Hardening of powder coating in the oven
- Ensuring a clean working environment and correct registration
Depending on the company, you will work independently or as part of a team. In some cases, you will also rotate between preparatory activities, such as hanging or packing parts.
What skills do you need as a powder coater?
A good powder coater is meticulous, has technical insight and an eye for detail. You work with materials that require careful handling and the quality requirements are often high. This is why companies look for employees who deliver skilled work and can work in a process-oriented way.
Important qualities for a powder coater:
- Technical and practical insight
- Accurate and concentrated work attitude
- Experience with spraying equipment or willingness to learn this
- Knowledge of safety regulations (such as VCA)
- Eye for quality and finish
- Physically fit (you work a lot standing up and regularly lift parts)
A completed technical mbo education is a plus, but not always required. Many powder coaters learn the trade 'on the job', possibly supplemented by internal training courses. Candidates from the metalworking, production or assembly industry are also suitable for this job.
Where can you work as a powder coater?
Powder coating occurs in a variety of sectors, from metal construction to interior design and from mechanical engineering to automotive. You will work in a paint shop or coating department within a production environment.
Examples of products you can coat:
- Steel frames or constructions
- Aluminium parts
- Fences, stairs or railings
- Bicycle parts or car rims
- Industrial machines and housings
Via Euro Planit, you can work at various companies in regions such as Achterhoek, Twente, and Drenthe. We offer both full-time and shift work positions, depending on your preference.
Growth and development opportunities
A job as a powder coater is a good step for anyone who wants to develop technically. You can progress into:
- All-round coat employee
- Team leader spray shop or coating department
- Quality controller
- Trainer or mentor for new employees
- Specialisations in wet coating, industrial spraying or pre-treatment
Many of our clients give you room to grow, take training courses and deepen your specialisation. This not only keeps your work challenging, but also future-oriented.
