  • Ability to read and interpret technical drawings and specifications
  • Strong eye for surface quality and shape accuracy
  • Able to work independently and meet production deadlines with minimal supervision
Physical Requirements:

  • Must be able to stand, bend, and reach for extended periods
  • Visual acuity required to identify small surface imperfections and ensure fair, uniform shapes
  • Frequent use of arms, hands, and shoulders for sanding, fairing, and polishing tasks
  • Fine motor skills necessary for precision surface work
  • Must be able to climb on, over, or into large plug structures safely
  • Must be able to wear personal protective equipment (PPE), including respirators when needed
  • Able to safely lift up to 50 lbs as required
