You have a keen eye for deviations and work methodically with inspection, cleaning, and grinding of parts of varying sizes, shapes, and materials.

The work is mainly performed sitting at your own workbench, and you will be part of a team working towards common goals.

Your responsibilities include, among other things:

• Inspecting and cleaning parts after cutting.
