- Practical experience with manual machining techniques, including operating lathes, mills, borers, drilling machines, etc.
- Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings and schematics.
- Proficiency in using hand measuring equipment (e.g., micrometers, vernier calipers, clocks).
- Strong attention to detail, methodical approach, and ability to think critically when solving problems.
- Flexibility to adapt to changing priorities and occasional non-standard working hours.
Desirable Skills:
- Experience in fields such as engine building, vehicle maintenance, or instrumentation.
- Proficiency in PC skills, including Microsoft Word and Excel.
