- Handle materials – such as getting and loading supplies with a pallet jack or other power equipment – and support other production tasks within your skill set, including during staffing shortages.
- Follow all policies and protocols (documentation, safety, cleaning and gowning) and clearly communicate production results or issues to Work Cell Technicians or your supervisor.
- Bringing a high school diploma or trade school degree (GED) and around 3–4 years of related experience and/or training; a combination of education and experience is welcomed.
