  • Mechanical, manufacturing, automotive, military, industrial, or technical experience is a plus.

  • Strong attention to detail and ability to follow written procedures.

  • Comfortable working with computers and learning new technology.

  • Good problem-solving and communication skills.

  • Dependable, safety-conscious, and willing to learn.
