• Basic computer literacy, including the ability to navigate inventory databases, operate barcode scanners, and perform basic digital data entry.
• Strong attention to detail and a methodical approach to identifying mechanical, electrical, and tooling parts while maintaining organized workspace standards.
• Ability to stand, walk, lift, and maneuver inventory throughout the shift, including performing heavy lifting as needed.
• Effective communication and people skills to collaborate with maintenance and other teams.
• Self-starter mindset with a strong work ethic and the ability to work independently during intensive sorting and cataloging phases.
