About your past

Tell me about a time you found a mistake on a drawing or work order. How did you handle it?

What would you do

You measure a part during the run and it's just outside tolerance. What do you do?

Some dimensions can't be checked by hand and have to go to Quality Assurance. How do you decide what to send, and what do you do while you wait?

What they are checking: Whether they understand first article and final inspection and do not run a full batch before the part is approved.

What's different about fabricating plastics compared to metal or wood?

How do you record your production time and job data in ERP software, and why does it matter if it's accurate?

How do you keep your work area and tools in good condition during a shift?

What they are checking: Whether they keep organized work habits that prevent damaged parts, lost tools and injuries.

What safety habits do you follow when working with cutting and shop equipment?

What they are checking: Whether they consistently use guards, PPE and safe practices rather than taking shortcuts to save time.
