• Perform pre- and post-processing tasks (e.g. vacuum bagging, curing preparation, unpacking)
• Ensure stable machine operation and prevent production downtime

Quality & Process Discipline

• Inspect components during and after production
• Never pass on defective or uninspected parts
• Report process deviations immediately
• Follow defined work instructions, maintain accurate documentation, and keep the workplace organized

Collaboration & Continuous Improvement

• Work closely with QA and cross-functional teams
• Communicate issues and deviations openly and early

Identify process deviations and contribute improvement ideas

YOUR PROFILE

• Experience in manufacturing, CNC/machine operation, metalworking, plastics, automotive, or a comparable production environment
