  • Basic understanding of mechanical systems or industrial equipment
  • Ability to lift up to 50 pounds
  • Ability to climb stairs and ladders as needed
  • Pursuing a degree in Engineering, Industrial Technology, or related field is a plus
  • Familiarity with measurement tools or technical documentation is plus
