• Pull tooling from the press and move it to the storage rack or toolroom using a forklift.
• Perform lockout-tagout procedures when applicable.
• Troubleshoot potential setup issues before bringing in toolroom personnel.

• Ability to occasionally push, pull, lift, or carry up to 50 pounds.
• Vision of 20/40 (with or without correction) and the ability to communicate clearly on the floor.
• Stamina to work all assigned hours, including overtime as needed.
