About PPG Quality

PPG Quality is a leading provider of manufacturing solutions, specializing in quality inspection, workforce support, and operational services for manufacturers and parts suppliers. We proudly serve industries including automotive, aerospace, medical devices, electronics, motorcycles, and food production. Headquartered in northern Atlanta, PPG Quality operates across the United States, Canada, and Mexico.

We are committed to rapid career advancement and developing future leaders in manufacturing. At PPG Quality, we foster a culture of excellence, collaboration, and personal growth—where every team member is empowered to perform at their highest level.

We are immediately hiring an Operations Support & Field IT Technician to support field operations and technology systems across multiple manufacturing sites.

About the Role

This hands-on, operations-focused role supports mobile devices and critical systems in the field, helping ensure consistent quality and production performance. You will respond quickly to customer locations, assist during sort launches and inspections in active manufacturing environments.

This position bridges operations, quality, and IT support, offering strong growth into advanced field and leadership roles.

What You’ll Do

• Provide rapid, on-site operational and technical support to field teams


• Troubleshoot mobile devices, tablets, scanners, and shop-floor systems


• Resolve quality issues


• Support and participate in sort launches and inspection activities


• Rotate between multiple facilities and shifts


• Assist with device deployment, system setup, and field technology support


• Communicate effectively with supervisors, clients, and internal teams

Role Breakdown

• 65% – Learning and supporting operations across multiple manufacturers


• 25% – Field technician and IT support


• 10% – Corporate and administrative responsibilities

What You Bring

• Experience supporting manufacturing, quality, or shop-floor systems


• Strong troubleshooting skills for mobile devices and basic IT systems


• Solid computer proficiency (Windows, mobile platforms, cloud tools)


• Excellent communication and problem-solving skills


• Ability to work independently in fast-paced environments


• Willingness to travel and work on-site in active production facilities


• Comfortable using PPE, standing for extended periods, and working in noisy environments

Why This Role Stands Out

Manufacturing environments depend on fast, dependable operational support. This role prepares you to become a field-ready, operations-driven technical professional who keeps quality and production workflows running smoothly.

You’ll gain hands-on exposure to real-world manufacturing systems, continuous improvement practices, and customer-facing problem solving—while building a long-term career with PPG Quality.
