You recruit machinists, tool & die makers, welders, electricians, maintenance mechanics, and CNC programmers in a market with chronic shortages. You manage apprenticeship programs (often 3–4 years), partnerships with community colleges and trade schools, and military-to-civilian transition programs. Union environments add collectively bargained hiring halls and seniority provisions. The skilled trades workforce is aging and retirements are accelerating.
You manage mandatory safety training across the manufacturing workforce: OSHA 10/30, lockout/tagout (LOTO), confined space, fall protection, forklift certification, crane/hoist operation, PPE, hazardous communication, respiratory protection, and job-specific safety training. Many certifications require periodic renewal. Documentation must be audit-ready for OSHA inspections. Training must be delivered in multiple languages for diverse workforces.
