  • Other duties as assigned

  • Basic mechanical aptitude and willingness to assist with general plant maintenance (including bending, lifting, working outdoors)
  • Strong multitasking skills to support batching, dispatch coordination, scheduling, and general plant activities
  • Ability to stay focused and perform well under pressure in a fast‑paced, continuously changing, deadline‑driven environment
  • Proficient with computers and comfortable learning new software for batching and dispatching purposes
  • Willing and able to work with changing schedules, including occasional irregular hours based on production demands
