Lead the assigned area, mentor less experienced welders, coordinate daily workflow, uphold safety practices, and resolve quality issues. Requires strong reading of blueprints/weld symbols, problem-solving in complex builds, and the ability to work with various SAFE Boats products while maintaining production timelines. Previous leadership experience and ability to pass a welding skill test are required. Prolonged exposure to a manufacturing environment, use of production machinery, and adherence to SBI safety policies are essential.
