  • Ability to work independently and manage assigned tasks effectively
  • Results-oriented with a commitment to completing work efficiently and thoroughly
  • Interest in mechanical systems, engineering, or manufacturing environments
  • Capable of working in a typical manufacturing environment (noise, temperature variations, etc.)
  • 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
