• Inspect work visually and by touch; verify dimensions using calipers, micrometers, and other gauges.
• Document defects, flag inconsistencies, and partner with supervisors on improvements.
• Keep equipment clean, perform light preventive maintenance, and manage safe disposal of shavings and dust.
• Use PPE at all times (gloves, safety glasses, respirators) and follow established safety procedures.
• Collaborate with machine operators, welders, and inspectors to hit production targets; help with material handling and stay organized in the finishing cell.
• Pitch in across the department, supporting cross-training and related production tasks as needed.
