What You’ll Do

• Read and follow job paperwork, work instructions, and established procedures.
• Prepare and mask specific areas of parts according to job requirements.
• Apply masking materials accurately to small and detailed areas.
• Work with small parts requiring good hand-eye coordination and finger dexterity.
• Check your work carefully to make sure the correct areas are protected.
• Follow instructions from the Lead regarding how each part needs to be masked.
• Maintain accuracy while keeping up with production requirements.
• Recognize when something doesn't look right and ask questions before proceeding.
• Handle parts carefully to prevent damage or quality issues.
• Keep your work area clean and organized.
• Follow all safety, quality, and production procedures.

What We’re Looking For

• Ability to stay focused and maintain a steady production pace.
• Dependable attendance and punctuality.
• Willingness to learn new processes and techniques.
• A quality-focused approach—you check your work and ask questions rather than guessing.

Physical Requirements

• Ability to see small details on parts and paperwork.
• Ability to use hands and fingers for precise and repetitive tasks.
• Ability to handle small parts and masking materials throughout the shift.
• Ability to sit or stand as required by the work being performed.
• Ability to perform repetitive hand and arm movements.
• Ability to work in a production environment.
