Use hydraulic tools, welding equipment, cutting torches, electrical tools, and common hand tools as required.
Perform basic equipment and vehicle maintenance, including oil changes and minor repairs. Report more complex mechanical issues to the appropriate supervisor.
Participate in daily safety briefings, work planning, equipment checks, and required safety training.
Clean job sites and maintain vehicles, equipment, tools, supplies, and work areas.
Restock equipment and vehicles, organize tools and materials, and sort scrap materials after assignments.
Follow all safety procedures and assist other departments as needed.
