· Identify issues before they become production problems.

· Help train new crew members.

· Perform basic machine maintenance, cleaning, troubleshooting, and daily checks.

· Understands production but still cares about quality.

· Can lead younger or less experienced crew members.

· Wants long-term opportunity with growth potential.
