issue observed.

•  Supports traceability by documenting parts used, measurements taken, and findings in the WO/report and returning unused/defective parts as per site process.

Lifting / Crane Support (When Applicable)

•  Assist with heavy lift activities, including basic rigging support, exclusion zone setup, and acting as banksman/spotter when trained and authorized.

Ensure lifting tools and accessories are inspected/certified before use.

Continuous Improvement & Skills Development

•  Demonstrate  willingness  to  continuously  build  skills  and  progress  toward  advanced troubleshooting and repair capabilities.

•  Participate in trainings, toolbox talks, and technical feedback loops to improve reliability and safety performance.
