• Follow all safety guidelines and best practices while operating machinery and handling heavy materials.
• Monitor machine performance and report any issues or irregularities to the appropriate personnel.

The standard 8-hour shift structure provides predictable scheduling, helping you maintain stability both at work and at home.
