Responsibilities

• Perform thorough visual and dimensional quality checks on fiberglass components and sub-assemblies to identify defects such as cracks, voids, delamination, surface imperfections, or dimensional inaccuracies, using tools like calipers, micrometers, gauges, and visual inspection methods.
• Drill precise holes, cutouts, and features in fiberglass parts using hand drills, drill presses, hole saws, routers, or other power tools, following blueprints, templates, or work instructions to ensure accurate placement and sizing.
• Load, position, and secure mechanical parts, hardware, inserts, brackets, and electronic components (e.g., wiring harnesses, sensors, lights, control modules) into fiberglass structures, ensuring proper fit, alignment, and fastening using adhesives, mechanical fasteners, clips, or other specified methods.
• Assemble sub-components according to detailed work instructions, blueprints, schematics, or engineering drawings, maintaining tight tolerances and proper orientation.
• Verify completed sub-assemblies for conformance to specifications through measurements, functional checks, and visual inspections; document any non-conformances and rework as directed.
• Maintain a clean, organized, and safe work area; handle fiberglass materials, resins, dust, and related substances with appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE).
• Follow all company safety protocols, including proper use of respirators, gloves, eye protection, and ventilation systems when working with fiberglass dust or composites.
