PHYSICAL DEMANDS:

The physical demands described here are representative of those that must be met by an employee to successfully perform the essential functions of this job. Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions. Climb stairs multiple times during a shift Work from ladders or lifts on the shop floor. Possess the manual dexterity to build or assemble small components with hand / pneumatic tools. Some repetitive motions are required to perform these tasks (i.e., turning a wrench, cutting wire). Lift floor to waist level - 35 lbs. Lift waist to shoulder level - 35 lbs. Carry on shop floor - 35 lbs. Some job functions will require wearing a SAR (Supplied-Air Respirator) while performing some tasks. Some job functions may require entering of a permitted confined space.

WORK ENVIRONMENT:

The work environment characteristics described here are representative of those an employee encounters while performing the essential functions of this job. The employee is regularly exposed to extreme heat, sharp objects, and moving mechanical parts. Proper and functioning PPE, Machine guarding, and interlocking are designed into the process for employee protection, but employee awareness to hazards and controls is essential to maintaining a safe work environment for you and your co-workers. Some tasks may introduce additional hazards associated with respiratory and skin irritants, asphyxiation, fall hazards, and electrical hazards including electrical shock or arc flash.

Where applicable, employees will be provided adequate training, PPE, and procedures to protect against these hazards. Generally, the work environment is maintained at a controlled temperature and humidity for comfortable working conditions, however, some tasks are performed in isolated areas where wet or humid conditions may exist.

The noise level in the work environment is usually moderate, but if performing work in areas deemed high noise areas, hearing protection will be supplied and required while in the designated area.

The EB-PVD Coater is a source of ionizing radiation. The machine design incorporates shielding to contain radiation so that exposure to employees in normal operating conditions is below background levels. To mitigate risk from accidental releases, employees may be required to wear a radiation monitor (dosimeter) while present on the coater platform. Radiation awareness training will be required of all employees that may work on the platform.

Standard shop floor PPE requirements will be enforced as well. As a minimum this includes eye protection and steel-toed shoes. Other requirements may be added by EHS based on hazard surveys and potential in isolated areas.
