Understand and enforce all 5S and safety requirements to maintain a clean, safe, and compliant work environment.

Review and interpret work orders and drawings for accuracy, especially related to welded assemblies.

Provide feedback, support, and on-the-floor training to team members to improve welding accuracy and efficiency.

Coordinate with QA to ensure proper inspection and compliance with weld quality standards.

Communicate across shifts and departments to coordinate schedules and optimize production flow.

Work with planners and materials teams to manage inventory and ensure parts availability.

Comfortable operating and understanding welding equipment and related manufacturing tools (e.g., cranes, cutting tools, molding presses).

Clear communicator with leadership qualities, team spirit, and a strong sense of accountability.

Ability to identify issues on the floor and work collaboratively on solutions that improve safety, quality, and efficiency.
