• Document and communicate any as‑built changes, production‑driven modifications, or deviations from the original design.
• Assist with conducting fit‑up checks, interference checks, and installation verifications on the production floor.
• Work closely with production leads and supervisors to ensure builds remain on schedule and within labor expectations.
• Participate in troubleshooting sessions for electrical, hydraulic, and mechanical issues impacting the build.
