A battery cell pad / shredding area, which involves more manual, labor-intensive work.
Candidates may be assigned to one primary workstream,
but flexibility to support either area is important based on site needs.
This is hands-on, physically demanding, project-based
work requiring strong attention to detail, consistent attendance, and
comfort working in industrial environments with strict safety protocols.
