Inspections and preventive maintenance. Complete assigned checks and maintenance on schedule. Report leaks, damage, unusual equipment operation, and safety concerns promptly.

How you lead

Bias for action. Respond promptly, confirm priorities, and take the next safe step. Communicate urgent issues immediately and seek direction when the task exceeds your training.

Extreme ownership. Take responsibility for assigned work from start to finish. Raise obstacles early, communicate what help is needed, and follow through on commitments.

Relentless follow-through. Understand what a completed task requires. Check your work with the appropriate technician or supervisor and close the loop with accurate records.

High standards and direct communication. Give clear updates, ask questions, and report mistakes or unsafe conditions promptly. Never sacrifice safety or quality for speed.

Presence where the work happens. Be dependable, help teammates, and learn through hands-on work. Look for practical improvements and take on increasing responsibility as your skills develop.

Ability to follow instructions and safety procedures, recognize your training limits, and ask for help when needed.
