• Interpret engineering drawings, blueprints, and mold documentation.
• Support continuous improvement activities within the Molding department.
• Collaborate with Engineering, Quality, Production, and other cross-functional teams to resolve technical issues and meet production objectives.

• Ability to routinely lift and carry materials and equipment components weighing up to 50 pounds.
• Ability to work around operating manufacturing equipment, including elevated temperatures, hydraulic systems, electrical equipment, and moving machinery.
• Ability to use required personal protective equipment (PPE).
