· Follow all safety procedures and keep a clean, organized workstation

· Support team production goals and meet daily run targets

Qualifications

· High school diploma or equivalent required

· Some experience operating CNC or other production machinery preferred

· Basic understanding of mechanical processes and safety practices

· Ability to read and follow written instructions and part specifications
