- Maintain an organized and clean work area
- Meet production expectations without sacrificing safety or quality
- Follow all required safety procedures and wear assigned protective equipment
- Communicate quality, equipment, or work-order concerns to the line operator
What We’re Looking For
- Dependable work history and consistent attendance
- Ability to follow work orders and verbal instructions
- Strong attention to detail and part identification
- Ability to work independently while maintaining production pace
- Willingness to perform repetitive, hands-on production work
- Ability to stand for extended periods and frequently bend, reach, twist, push, pull, and handle metal parts
