Scope of Decision-Making Authority

Health, Safety, and Environment: All employees have the right to refuse any task they believe is unsafe and must report such refusals immediately to a supervisor, Human Resources, or the Safety Coordinator for investigation. Employees are expected to intervene when they identify unsafe conditions or behaviors, including environmental risks, and take steps to prevent injury, illness, or property damage. Every employee also has a responsibility to actively contribute to maintaining safe and healthy working conditions by participating in health and safety activities, complying with company policies, and promptly reporting unsafe situations.

Technical Decisions: Makes routine decisions related to fitting, layout, tack welding, fabrication methods, tool selection, and interpretation of blueprints, weld symbols, and specifications within established procedures and quality standards. Escalates non-routine technical issues, unclear specifications, or deviations from approved methods to the supervisor or appropriate technical resource.

Policy Interpretation: Applies established company policies, work instructions, quality requirements, and shop procedures in day-to-day work. Seeks guidance from the supervisor when policy requirements, procedural expectations, or work instructions are unclear.

Financial Authority: Has no direct financial approval authority. Supports cost-effective work practices by using materials, tools, equipment, and time efficiently and reporting potential waste, rework, or resource concerns to the supervisor.

People & Resource Management: May provide task-level guidance or assistance to helpers or less experienced employees during fabrication activities but does not have direct supervisory authority. Coordinates use of tools, materials, and equipment within assigned work and escalates resource constraints or scheduling concerns to the supervisor.

Continuous Improvement: Identifies and communicates opportunities to improve safety, quality, workflow, fabrication methods, tool use, and material handling. May support implementation of approved improvement activities within the scope of assigned work.
