Location: Subaru of Indiana
Business: Automotive Coatings
PPG Start Date: April 2007
Current Position:
I am currently responsible for maintaining two Ecoat tanks one being onsite at SIA and the other a small parts manufacturer offsite. I also have responsibilities in planning shipments and deliveries, color and most of all problem solving issues for Ecoat, Primer, and Top Coats. Most of my job duties entail data collection and online surveying.
Career Path:
My Automotive career started out with a competitor of PPG maintaining a pretreatment system at Subaru of Indiana. After working this system for a year I was asked by a PPG employee if I would like to hire on with the company and take on more responsibilities within the paint process. I started out with PPG learning how to maintain an ED system and reducing paint viscosities. I eventually learned all areas of the paint process and took on more responsibly to support my manager onsite. I am still new within our organization but I am currently developing myself to achieve a position as a Global Account Director.
Career Highlight:
I have been part of launching two successful waterborne paint launches for PPG within Subaru of Indiana, participated in new color development trials offsite which were successfully launched at SIA and developed cost cutting measures for incoming deliveries to our plant.
Why I Like Working for PPG:
I like working for PPG because our customers rely on our expertise in maintaining a quality product for both them as well as for our company. The job can be challenging at times but there are always network people throughout our organization who are willing to offer guidance in the right direction. At the end of the workday, you can feel like you actually accomplished something and I know that you can’t say that in most career fields. |
