Join Our Growing Team at Stopem Ltd
We're looking for an experienced, reliable Powder Coater who genuinely takes pride in producing high-quality work.
Following investment in our brand-new powder coating facility, we're looking for someone who cares about the finish just as much as the preparation. We want someone who notices the small details, takes ownership of their work, and enjoys being part of a close-knit team where quality comes first.
If you're looking for a long-term role with a friendly, family-run business where your skills are valued and your work makes a real difference, we'd love to hear from you.
About Us
Stopem Ltd is a family-run manufacturer based in Brereton, Rugeley, specialising in high-quality Traffic Control and Parking Equipment supplied throughout the UK.
We're a growing business with ambitious plans, but we've never lost our family values. Here, you're more than just a number—you'll be part of a supportive team where everyone works together to achieve the highest standards.
The Role
This is a hands-on role where preparation is just as important as the finished coating. You'll play a key role in ensuring every product leaving our facility meets the high standards our customers expect.
Key Responsibilities

What We're Looking For
- Previous powder coating experience is essential.
- Excellent attention to detail with pride in producing quality workmanship.
- Reliable, hardworking and punctual.
- Positive attitude with a willingness to get involved and support the wider team.
- Ability to work independently and use initiative when required.
- Good understanding of health and safety within a manufacturing environment.
- Some of our products can be heavy, so this role involves regular manual handling. Applicants should be capable of safely lifting and moving products and be comfortable working in a fast-paced manufacturing environment.
