• Clean and remove grease from parts using Ransohoff machines and ensure parts are properly prepared for electroplating.
• Operate metal finishing equipment such as sand, vapor, and metal sprayers.
• Follow instructions to control the sequence and order of parts for processing.

• Basic shop math skills to calculate measurements and weights.
• Good interpersonal and organizational skills to understand and complete requests from team members inside and outside the department.
