• Perform routine preventive maintenance to ensure reliable machine performance.
• Verify dimensions and finishes using calipers, micrometers, and related gauges.
• Partner with team members to streamline processes and boost productivity.
• Keep the work area orderly and safe, following all established safety practices.
