Scope of Decision-Making Authority

Health, Safety, and Environment

All employees have the right to refuse any task they believe is unsafe and must report such refusals immediately to a supervisor, Human Resources, or the Safety Coordinator for investigation. Employees are expected to intervene when they identify unsafe conditions or behaviors, including environmental risks, and take steps to prevent injury, illness, or property damage.

Every employee is responsible for actively contributing to safe and healthy working conditions by participating in health and safety activities, complying with company policies, and promptly reporting unsafe situations.

Technical Decisions

Makes routine decisions related to fitting, layout, tack welding, fabrication methods, tool selection, and the interpretation of blueprints, weld symbols, and specifications within established procedures and quality standards. Escalates non-routine technical issues, unclear specifications, or deviations from approved methods to the supervisor or appropriate technical resource.

Policy Interpretation

Applies established company policies, work instructions, quality requirements, and shop procedures in daily work. Seeks guidance from the supervisor when policy requirements, procedural expectations, or work instructions are unclear.

Financial Authority

Has no direct financial approval authority. Supports cost-effective work practices by using materials, tools, equipment, and time efficiently and reporting potential waste, rework, or resource concerns to the supervisor.

People and Resource Management

May provide task-level guidance or assistance to helpers or less-experienced employees during fabrication activities but does not have direct supervisory authority. Coordinates the use of tools, materials, and equipment within assigned work and escalates resource constraints or scheduling concerns to the supervisor.

Continuous Improvement

Identifies and communicates opportunities to improve safety, quality, workflow, fabrication methods, tool use, and material handling. May support the implementation of approved improvement activities within the scope of assigned work.
