About Us
NanoTech Innovation Inc. is a Canadian advanced materials company based in Richmond, BC. We develop sustainable corrosion mitigation coatings for commercial, industrial, and infrastructure applications.
Our product line includes AnarPrime™ for B2B applications and RustAct™ for consumer and DIY use. These waterborne rust converter products are designed to restore and protect corroded metal surfaces with reduced surface preparation compared to conventional methods such as abrasive blasting.
We work with painting contractors, facility managers, industrial clients, and maintenance teams to help extend asset life, reduce downtime, and make corrosion restoration projects more efficient.
About the Role
We are looking for a technically strong specialist who can support product development/improvement, application consultations, and assist with B2B project opportunities. This role may be a strong fit for someone with a background in chemical engineering, materials science, paints, coatings, polymers, corrosion, applied chemistry, or a related technical field. The successful candidate will work closely with our technical team and will support R&D, coating evaluations, project assessments, application guidance, and help client/contractor understand how the product should be applied effectively.
Key Responsibilities
- Support R&D, coating evaluations, and application trials.
- Help assess projects for surface conditions, preparation requirements, and coating compatibility.
- Prepare technical notes, application guidance, and project-specific recommendations.
- Support product demonstrations, field trials, and customer application questions.
- Support application projects related to industrial maintenance, surface preparation, coating application, and field performance evaluation.
- Participate in discussions related to coating formulation, coating application methods, inspection requirements, and project-specific technical considerations.
- Help improve technical documentation, FAQs, and application procedures.
- Make calls and set up meetings with contractors, facility managers, and industrial clients.
- Explain technical concepts in clear, practical language.
- Support technical presentations, project reviews, and proposal preparation.
- Help communicate project value, including reduced prep time, reduced downtime, asset life extension, and potential cost savings.
- Record customer questions, objections, and feedback to improve product, sales materials, scripts, and follow-up.
