Demonstrates reliable attendance, active participation, and satisfactory progress through the apprenticeship training plan.
Performs other duties as assigned by the area leader or supervisor.

Ability to demonstrate increasing competency and independence as training milestones are completed.

Additional Characteristics:

The noise level in the work environment is usually moderate.
This position requires the ability to lift more than 20 pounds occasionally, 10–20 pounds frequently, and up to 10 pounds constantly.
This position may require standing and/or sitting for long periods of time, up to 8 hours per day.
