Perform routine cleaning of VTD platforms, hoses, hoods, and surrounding work areas.
Assist with basic maintenance tasks including gasket replacement, hose connections, and water line checks.
Keep tools maintained and workstations organized and free of hazards.
Work collaboratively with crane operators, ladlemen, furnace operators, and QC technicians.
Accurately follow verbal and written instructions in a fast-paced production environment.
