• Identify opportunities to improve efficiency, equipment utilization, and product quality
• Support safe operation of all equipment, ensuring a clean and organized work environment
• Collaborate with the Manufacturing Engineer to optimize processing
• Take ownership of your own safety and contribute to the safety of the entire team
