Production & Monitoring: Feed raw materials or parts into machines, monitor production runs for smooth operation, and adjust controls or speeds to optimize output and efficiency. Quality Assurance: Inspect finished components or products for defects using measuring tools (e.g., calipers, micrometers, or gauges) to ensure strict compliance with quality standards and blueprints. Routine Maintenance & Cleaning: Perform basic preventive maintenance, clean machinery, lubricate moving parts, and clear minor jams or blockages; report complex mechanical failures to the maintenance team promptly. Safety & Compliance: Adhere to safety guidelines, wear proper Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), conduct pre-operation safety checks, and maintain a clean, organized work area.
