Assist with candidate interviews, facilitate onboarding, deliver hands‑on competency/assessment training, and lead daily cross‑departmental huddles.

• Core Skills: Proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite and digital Quality Management Systems (QMS). Strong organizational, analytical, communication, and problem‑solving skills.
• Physical & Environmental: Ability to stand, sit, or walk for extended periods and occasionally lift up to 45 pounds.
