Previous lamination, composite, or aerospace experience is beneficial but not essential. Full training will be provided.

• Strong attention to detail and good manual dexterity
• Ability to follow written instructions and technical drawings
• A methodical, quality‑focused approach to work
• Reliability, good timekeeping, and willingness to learn new skills
• Comfortable working in a clean, process‑driven environment
