• Occasional lifting of light to moderate parts and materials (up to 40 lbs).
• Safety glasses, steel-toe shoes, and other PPE required at all times on the shop floor.

  Associate’s degree or technical certificate in manufacturing/operations preferred.
• 2–5+ years of experience in a manufacturing production support role (expediting, production control, material coordination, or shop floor scheduling).
• Experience in a precision metalworking or industrial manufacturing environment.
• Strong organizational and problem-solving skills with the ability to prioritize in a fast-paced, interrupt-driven environment.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills; comfortable interfacing with all levels from shop floor to management.
