Competencies

To perform this job successfully, an individual must be able to perform each competencies satisfactorily.

Cleanliness and Organization

Demonstrates ownership and pride about the appearance of the work space. Keeps the work area clean, safe and free-of-clutter throughout the shift. Puts tools, and other items, back where they belong. Hands-off a clean, safe and well-organized work space at the end of the work shift.

Quality of Work

Completes duties as specified in the position description thoroughly and accurately. Performance as efficiently as possible while maintaining a high level of quality. Under typical operating conditions, work output levels consistently meet expectations for someone at this job level, with comparable time/experience in the position. Consistently works at a pace that ensures that an acceptable quantity of work is produced, without sacrificing quality or safety objectives. Steps-up the pace, and delivers needed results, when customer deadlines require an especially high volume of work output.

Quantity of Work

Produces an amount of work that meets or exceeds job expectations. Makes sure that quality does not suffer as the quantity of work increases. Works effectively with peers and carries own share of team workload. This contrasts with those whose output level is clearly below organizational needs, those who make unacceptable tradeoffs between quantity and quality, and/or those whose output is typically below that of others when they are placed on a team.

Job Skills And Knowledge

Demonstrates the job skills and knowledge required to perform current job responsibilities. Consistently demonstrates the capacity and willingness to learn new skills and knowledge as needs and requirements change. Has a broad-enough range of skills and knowledge to be a versatile team member, who is capable of filling-in for people with different job assignments if such a need arises.

Attendance

Understands that attendance and punctuality affect team morale, and the confidence people have in co-workers (particularly in a multi-shift production environment). Is consistently present, and ready to begin work activities, at the start of scheduled shift or workday, while staying within established break periods, and arriving on time for meetings. Schedules personal appointments, or requests adjustment to schedules, with the least amount of disruption to existing business needs.

Adhering To Policies and Procedures

Understands and consistently adheres to all operational policies and procedures (e.g., all procedures related to security; inclement weather; vehicle operation and parking; fires, floods or other emergencies; expense reimbursements, etc.). Understands and consistently adheres to personnel policies (e.g., dress codes, respectful behavior, medical absences, etc.). Adapts well to new policies and procedures, once the rationale is understood.

Safety

Makes sure to understand every safety practice expected by the organization. Takes no shortcuts that increase the risks of accidents, personal injuries or equipment failures. Looks for unsafe practices in the workplace and takes responsibility to ensure that others are aware of the potential impact. This is distinctly different from those who are unaware of many safety expectations, take shortcuts that increase safety risks, and/or fail to recognize and take timely action to increase safe practices by others.
