In this role, you will help cut, assemble, and fabricate plastic components, piping systems, and related assemblies using hand and power tools. You will be responsible for following work orders, drawings, and measurements carefully to ensure parts are built accurately and meet quality expectations. You’ll use tools such as saws, drills, and routers to shape and fit materials, and you may also perform plumbing-style work involving the fitting and joining of piping systems. You will play an important role in checking your work with measuring tools such as tape measures and calipers, maintaining a safe and organized workspace, and supporting production goals. Over time, you’ll be expected to build the confidence and skill to work more independently while continuing to deliver reliable, precise results.
