• Read and, when applicable, reference blueprints or technical drawings to understand product requirements.
• Maintain a clean and organized work area, following housekeeping and 5S principles to support a safe and efficient environment.
• Adhere to all safety policies and procedures, including proper use of personal protective equipment and safe operation of equipment.
