We support an international network of authorised installers and distributors with a strong focus on process control, finish quality, and customer satisfaction.

The Role
We are appointing a highly skilled freelance Auto Refinisher who will also act as a Ngenco Installer Trainer.

This is a practical, customer-facing role for someone who can set a premium benchmark in the booth and coach others to replicate it.

Key Responsibilities
Deliver structured installer training at Ngenco Bromsgrove and at customer premises (UK & overseas). Train customers on surface preparation, masking discipline, booth best practices, spray technique (gun setup, overlap, edge control), workflow timing, quality control, finishing, defect prevention, and troubleshooting. Support customers through first installs to ensure correct method adoption and confidence. Maintain Ngenco standards and professional conduct while representing the brand on-site. Complete a short training record/sign-off after each assignment (attendance, summary, actions, recommendation).

Essential Requirements
