• Accurately documenting measurements, diameters, and quality data per shop requirements.
• Communicating tooling issues or quality excursions to the mill team.
• Rotating through up to 7 different positions within the shop, gaining cross-functional experience.
• Participating in continuous improvement and safety initiatives.
