Job Description
Do you love working with chemical processes? Is the appearance of objects important to you? Are you aware that high-quality materials or components sell better? Then become a surface coater! The name of the profession says it all: As an expert in physical, chemical, electrochemical, or electrical processes, you coat and refine surfaces of all kinds. For example, you could transform a cheap-looking plastic handle into one with a highly metallic and elegant appearance. Thanks to your work, the value of many components and materials increases. Corrosion protection through appropriate surface coating is also part of your responsibilities, for example, in the automotive industry. As a multi-talented professional, you are also responsible for the disposal of chemical solutions and the maintenance of the company's systems. Surface coaters work in craft or industrial companies. Your daily workplace is in workshops and factory halls.
