About the job

Some people like sitting behind a desk. Others prefer being where the action is. 

If you’re the kind of person who enjoys figuring out why a machine stopped working in the middle of the project, getting a system back online under pressure, and walking away knowing the job got done right, keep reading. 

At Qlayers you’ll work with advanced robotic coating systems on projects around the world. You’ll spend time preparing projects from our headquarters, but a large part of your role will be in the field: commissioning and operating equipment, troubleshooting problems, supporting customers, and making sure operations run smoothly.

• Comfortable reading technical documentation and troubleshooting systems  
• Good communication skills in English  
• Able to work independently and make decisions in the field  
• Willing to travel internationally (30–50%). 

You will fit this role if… 

• You stay calm when equipment fails and everyone is looking at you for answers  
• You enjoy finding solutions instead of looking for excuses  
• You don’t mind getting your hands dirty  
• You can balance safety, quality, and speed under pressure  
• You understand that some days end when the job is finished, not when the clock says so.
