Who Thrives Here

You're a problem-solver who gets energized by technical challenges. You lead by example—equally comfortable grabbing a wrench when needed or coaching someone through a complex procedure. You understand that great work comes from great teams, and you know how to balance production demands with safety and quality. You communicate clearly, think ahead, and take pride in building things that last.
