Essential Skills

• Demonstrated attention to detail and ability to identify defects in products and materials.
• Experience performing in-process inspection and final inspection in a production or manufacturing environment.

• Commitment to following all safety rules, PPE requirements, and security procedures.
• Ability to work assigned shifts, including 1st, 2nd, or 3rd shift schedules as needed.
