• Openness to long-term employment on a multi-year data center project, with interest in growing within the organization.
• Ability to learn order picking and general warehouse operations before specializing in wire cutting.
• Strong attention to detail when measuring, cutting, bundling, and labeling wire.
• Reliability in following established warehouse processes and safety standards.
