The Role
We're currently recruiting for an exciting opportunity for a Paint Process Engineer to support one of the world's most iconic and historic british motorcycle brands, renowned for a rich century-long tradition of craftsmanship, racing pedigree, and distinctive design.
Headquartered at a state-of-the-art facility in Solihull, that houses its core manufacturing, design, and R&D teams under one roof. Combining classic British engineering with cutting-edge development—including zero-emission technology and next-generation vehicle programs and entering an ambitious phase of global growth, innovation, and investment.
Built on a culture of respect, trust, responsibility, and a passion for engineering excellence, offering you the chance to grow alongside dedicated industry talent.
As a Paint Process Engineer, you will serve as the in-house paint expert, providing technical leadership across paint development, supplier performance, new product design support, and quality improvement initiatives. Your primary focus will be to apply deep technical expertise in paint technologies and strong cross-functional collaboration to ensure world-class paint finishes that meet both aesthetic and durability expectations.
You will work proactively with Engineering teams to provide early-stage design feedback to ensure the paintability of new products, as well as lead the development, testing, and approval of new colours and finishes. This role requires you to confidently troubleshoot paint application issues, including electrocoating and powder application defects, and provide hands-on expertise in paint repair for ABS, carbon fibre, and aluminium components.
You will also drive paint-related cost-saving initiatives, lead process and facility re-engineering projects to meet QCD (Quality, Cost, Delivery) targets, and prepare specifications for new equipment, fixtures, jigs, and tooling. If you can proactively develop the paint supply chain, lead supplier development activities to improve capabilities, and continuously strive to set, implement, and police aesthetic paint standards, this role provides an engaging opportunity in a highly collaborative environment.
