• Work effectively within a highly automated, high-volume automotive environment where timely product output is critical.
• Follow safety procedures and use required personal protective equipment, including cut-proof, long sleeve jackets in designated areas.
• Collaborate with other technicians and production staff to minimize downtime and maintain smooth operations on the night shift.

• 3–5 years of industrial maintenance experience preferred, ideally supported by an associate’s degree in a related field.
