• Solid manufacturing knowledge that allows you to implement process or equipment changes correctly and support continuous improvement across the operation.
• The confidence to follow technical documentation, apply best practices, and adapt quickly when equipment, processes, or priorities shift.
• A growth‑oriented approach that keeps your technical skills sharp and ensures you stay aligned with evolving business and production needs.

Additional Requirements

• One of the following minimum requirements:
  At least 7 years of experience in a relevant trade field, or A Journeyman Trade Certificate with relevant experience, or strong troubleshooting skills and the ability to interpret schematics, manuals, and blueprints.
