JOB DESCRIPTION

Experience in paint application?  A passion for boating?  Able to express yourself well?  And a personality everyone from painters to shipyard managers will warm to?

Then this is the role for you. It offers great development opportunities, exposure to various functions and the benefit of working for International Paint & Awlgrip: a multinational known for understanding its customers, anticipating their needs and surpassing their expectations.

The International Paint worldwide businesses are part of AkzoNobel's Performance Coatings group. AkzoNobel is the largest global paints and Coatings Company and a major producer of specialty chemicals. We supply industries and consumers worldwide with innovative products and are passionate about developing sustainable answers for our customers.

Now, you can help us by providing customers and colleagues in the yacht industry with guidance and training on the application of our paints, and evaluating new products from us and competitors. The work will involve carrying out filtration, application and microscopy analysis and reporting on the results, providing our sales and technical service representatives with the product information they need, and helping our quality control and with the construction boat show displays.

About a quarter of your time will be spent abroad at sites throughout Europe, and possibly beyond. You'll visit marinas and boatsheds, as well as boats at moorings or on slipways. This will, sometimes, mean working at height, so you must be happy to do this. You also need to be physically fit and a good swimmer. In terms of personal qualities, you obviously need to be outgoing and adaptable. While in terms of IT competency, you should be familiar with Outlook, Word and Excel.

Meet these criteria and we're sure to meet your expectations.
