This role is based in a plant and cast house environment that combines indoor work areas with unregulated production spaces. The cast house is very hot due to the furnaces used to melt and mold metal, and in the summer temperatures can reach around 110 degrees. The area is loud, with high noise levels and other industrial factors typical of a heavy manufacturing facility.
