About your past
Tell me about a time you caught a measurement or alignment error before it became a scrapped part.

Tell me about a time you had to explain a process or problem to a coworker or supervisor. How did you make sure they understood?

What would you do
Say you're running a saw and notice the blade is producing rough or inconsistent cuts. What do you do before continuing production?
What they are checking: judgment around stopping unsafe or out-of-spec work versus pushing through to hit numbers
If you found a discrepancy between the packing list and the actual steel delivered, what would you do next?

About the work
Walk me through how you would read a blueprint and set up bend allowances before running a part on the press. What steps do you check first?
What they are checking: whether the candidate can actually translate a print into a working setup, not just recite terms
How do you use a micrometer to check a tight tolerance, and what do you do if your reading doesn't match what the print calls for?
What they are checking: real hands-on measurement competence versus just naming the tool
What is your experience operating overhead cranes and fork trucks to move raw bar stock, and what safety checks do you do before each lift?
What they are checking: actual certified or practical experience with material handling equipment and safety habits
Describe how you'd perform routine maintenance on a punch press, including changing punch and die and checking calibration.
What they are checking: depth of mechanical knowledge for equipment upkeep, not just operating it
How comfortable are you with cycle counts and posting material out of stock in a computer system? Walk me through how you'd handle that paperwork.
