- Fast, steady hands. You can repeat the same task hundreds of times without the quality slipping.
- Accurate with a scale, and you follow specs exactly.
- Clean, organised and safe with food handling.
- Able to own the assembly process and work independently
- Able to lift 50 lb, stand for a full shift, and work in walk-in fridges and freezers.
