· Read a tape measure and check measurements for accurate fit and assembly.

· Use hand and power tools safely, following instructions and assigned training.

· Follow written and verbal instructions to complete work accurately and on schedule.

· Follow safety procedures and wear required personal protective equipment.

What You Bring

· A genuine interest in learning fabrication and assembly.

· Attention to detail and a willingness to follow instructions and accept feedback.

· A safety-first approach, respectful communication, and a team-oriented attitude.

· A high school diploma or equivalent.
