Physical Requirements & Work Environment

Frequent movement between offices, training rooms, and manufacturing areas
Standing for extended periods during training sessions
Occasional lifting of materials or equipment (up to 25 lbs)

Wearing required PPE, including safety glasses and steel-toe shoes, in operational environments
