Join Our Team

I am Luisa, currently serving as an Assistant Manager in the Production department at Nippon Paint Singapore, originating from the Philippines. My association with Nippon Paint began in 2012 when I joined as an Assistant Production Engineer, progressing over the years to the role of Production Engineer before assuming my current managerial responsibilities. With a background in chemical engineering and previous experience in a Philippine-based paint company, my professional journey has been marked by continual growth and learning.

Upon joining the production floor, I faced the challenge of a language barrier with my Chinese-speaking colleagues, a situation humorously described as a 'chicken and duck' scenario. Despite this, persistent efforts and a collective commitment to understanding each other allowed us to bridge the communication gap. Nippon Paint's culture encourages seamless communication across all hierarchical levels, evident in initiatives such as the Employee Suggestion Scheme (ESS), providing a platform for staff to share ideas with tangible recognition in the form of cash rewards for adopted suggestions.

Prioritizing physical and mental well-being, I maintain a healthy work-life balance, with an understanding and supportive environment that actively supports such considerations. The dynamic nature of my role not only provides opportunities for skill development but also involves travel. Participating in the Quality Control Circle (QCC) conference, leading a team in Vietnam for a labelling machine modification project, and representing the company in Osaka, Japan, highlight the diverse experiences of my tenure.

In conclusion, Nippon Paint presents challenges, but the continuous growth and learning opportunities make it a fulfilling journey. The supportive work culture, emphasis on employee well-being, and avenues for professional development collectively contribute to a rewarding and enriching career experience. Being part of an organization that values its employees and fosters an environment conducive to personal and professional growth fills me with pride.
