• Inspect each lens or housing and diagnose exactly what material and process it needs — light buffing, deep sanding, or a full re-finish.
• Set up with the right grinding wheels, sanding grits, and polishing compounds for the job in front of you.
• Grind, sand, clean, and polish lenses by hand and machine until the finish hits insurance-quality standard — no shortcuts, no fogging, no scratches left behind.
• Run every finished piece through quality control before it moves to the next station.
• Follow safety procedures on every job — PPE, machine guards, and safe handling, every time.
• Bring your ideas to the team on faster or better ways to get the same clean finish.

• High school diploma or equivalent practical experience — required.
• 1+ year of warehouse, manufacturing, or factory experience — preferred, not required.
• Grinding, sanding, or buffing/polishing experience — a plus, not required, we'll train the technique.

• You're coachable — willing to pick up new finishing techniques from teammates and trainers.

• Prior grinding, sanding, or buffing/polishing repair experience.
