JOB DESCRIPTION
As our Paint Maker, you're there to assure product quality by setting up, operating, or tending machines to mix or blend materials, such as solvents, resins, pigments, latex, and other chemical additives in a safe, consistent, and efficient manner to ultimately provide paint to the customer.
Solving challenges is the very foundation of who we are. After all, in the beginning, our founder, sea captain Robert Fergusson, didn't particularly care about paint. When he founded our company in 1921, he just wanted to keep his ship intact and stumbled upon a valuable solution. Today, that discovery is Rust-Oleum Corporation.
The same passion that drove the Captain to spend his next few years creating the world's first rust-preventative paint still drives us today. When we see a problem, we work diligently until we've perfected a solution, which has led to some of the most cutting edge, durable and innovative products in the industry. Our creative and talented team of over 2000 people across every corner of the world, help us remain the global leader in protective paints and coatings for both home and industry.
Here's what you can expect every day:
Observe machine gauges and equipment operation to detect defects or deviations from standards, and make adjustments as necessary.
Determine paint flow, viscosity, and coating quality by performing visual inspections, or by using machinery.
Weigh or measure chemicals, coatings, or paints before adding them to machines.
Select appropriate coatings, paints, or sprays, or prepare them by mixing substances according to formulas, using automated paint mixing equipment.
Set up and operate machines to paint or coat products with such materials as silver and copper solution, rubber, paint, glaze, oil, or rustproofing materials.
Turn dials, handwheels, valves, or switches to regulate conveyor speeds, machine temperature, air pressure, and circulation, and the flow or spray of coatings or paints.
Start and stop operation of machines, using levers or buttons.
Record operational data on specified forms.
Start pumps to mix solutions and fill tanks.
Operate auxiliary machines or equipment used in coating or painting processes.
Required Skills:
High school diploma or equivalent.
1-3 years of experience in manufacturing/chemical processing environment.
Prior paint manufacturing experience is preferred but not required.
Good written and verbal communications skills.
Ability to work well with other peer groups.
Knowledge of industrial safety regulations.
Additional Consideration Given to Those With:
Exposure to quality programs
Paint/Coatings/chemical industry knowledge or experience
Previous experience with safety programs
From big benefits to small, we take care of our associates! After 30 days of employment, you will be eligible for a benefits package that includes medical, dental, life, disability and business travel insurance, flexible spending accounts, EAP, stock purchases and vacation/sick days/parental leave. We also offer a 401(k) plan after three months of employment. Associates are vested in the RPM Pension plan after completing five years of service. Rust-Oleum offers paid holidays.

Training Outcome:Career prospects at MiD Engineering are strong for an apprentice, especially if you’re interested in the automotive and engineering industry. While it’s a smaller, specialist business, that actually works in your favour in several ways:
Progression within the company
Because MiD Engineering is a specialist Land Rover workshop, apprentices can develop deep, niche expertise. Over time, you could progress from:
* Apprentice → Junior Technician
* Technician → Senior/Master Technician
With experience, you may also take on more responsibility such as diagnostics, complex repairs, or even supervising newer apprentices.
Specialist skill development
MiD Engineering focuses almost entirely on Land Rover vehicles, meaning you build **highly specialised skills**. This is valuable because:
* The business works on everything from classic models to modern vehicles ([MID 2025][1])
* You gain experience in diagnostics, repairs, and advanced systems
* Specialist knowledge makes you more employable across the industry
Wider career opportunities
The skills you gain can open doors beyond MiD Engineering. For example:
* Working at larger dealerships or networks linked to Jaguar Land Rover
Moving into roles like vehicle technician, diagnostic specialist, or service advisor
Progressing into higher-level apprenticeships or an engineering role
Large automotive apprenticeship pathways are designed to develop long-term careers, combining hands-on work with structured training and progression routes ([jaguarlandroverretailerapprenticeships.co.uk][2]).
Long-term career growth
With experience, you could eventually:
Earn higher salaries as a qualified technician
Move into workshop management or specialist roles
Starting at MiD Engineering gives you:
Real, hands-on experience
Specialist expertise in a respected brand
A clear pathway into a long-term engineering career
It’s a strong foundation, especially if you want a practical, skill-based career in the automotive industry.Employer Description:An apprenticeship at MiD Engineering, working with the iconic Land Rover brand, offers a unique and rewarding start to a career in Motor engineering.
MiD Engineering provides exposure to high-quality workmanship and specialist knowledge, particularly in the maintenance, restoration, and performance of Land Rover vehicles. This means apprentices are not just learning basic mechanics, but are building expertise on globally recognised vehicles known for their durability and engineering complexity. Working on such respected machines can be both motivating and professionally beneficial, giving apprentices a strong foundation for future career opportunities.
Another major advantage is the chance to learn directly from experienced engineers. At MiD Engineering, apprentices work alongside skilled professionals who can pass on years of industry knowledge, tips, and best practices. This mentorship helps accelerate learning and builds confidence, allowing apprentices to progress more quickly than they might in a classroom-only setting.
In addition, apprentices earn while they learn, gaining financial independence without the burden of student debt. This practical route into engineering is ideal for individuals who prefer a more active, hands-on approach to education. Over time, apprentices can develop not only technical ability but also important workplace skills such as teamwork, communication, and problem-solving.
Finally, being based in Wantage offers a supportive local working environment while still being connected to the wider automotive and engineering industry. Completing an apprenticeship at MiD Engineering demonstrates commitment, skill, and real-world experience—qualities that are highly valued by employers.
Overall, an apprenticeship at MiD Engineering working with Land Rover vehicles is an excellent opportunity to build a strong, practical, and respected career in Motor engineering.Working Hours :Monday to Friday 8am to 4.30pm.Skills: Communication skills,Attention to detail,Customer care skills,Team working....Read more...
