WORKING CONDITIONS

PHYSICAL EFFORT: The combination of intensity, duration, and frequency of physical activity is such that it results in:

Minimal - altering position of light physical activity e.g. sitting, walking, bending, lifting, etc.

X
Moderate - intermediate position of moderate physical activity (up to 50% of the work day) e.g. sitting in one place, sustained keyboarding, working in awkward physical position or spaces.

Considerable - frequent lengthy periods (51% - 80% of the work day) of heavy physical activity.

Physical Environment: The combination of intensity, duration, and frequent exposure to factors in the environment is such that it results in:

Occasional exposure to mild unpleasant/disagreeable conditions e.g. dust, dirt, odors, noise, etc.

X
Frequent exposure to unpleasant/disagreeable conditions e.g. minor conditions of dust, dirt, noise, odors, inclement weather, etc.

Continuous exposure to unpleasant/disagreeable conditions e.g. extreme conditions of dust, dirt, fumes, heat, cold, etc.

Almost continuous exposure to health or accident hazards of an extreme nature which may result in disabilities or death.

SENSORY ATTENTION: The combination of intensity, duration and frequency of concentration is such that it requires:

Low intensity of concentration, requiring little demand for sensory efforts.

Need to concentrate on a variety of sensory inputs for intermediate durations of time requiring close attention several times a day.

X
Need to concentrate on a variety of sensory inputs for lengthy durations of time requiring diligence and attention to interpret effectively.

Almost continuous need for a high degree of concentration to focus simultaneously on several events or changing factors, leaving no room for error.

MENTAL STRESS: The combination of intensity, duration, and frequency of exposure to physical and environmental factors is such that it results in:

Little exposure e.g. few deadlines, limited unpleasant client contacts, limited travel, etc.

X
Occasional exposure e.g. pressure deadlines, unpleasant public or client contacts, etc.

Frequent exposure with noticeable mental stress e.g. competing deadlines, angry clients, etc.

Extreme mental stress is a noticeable part of the job e.g. exposure to emotionally disturbing experiences, concerns about danger to self or others, etc.

OTHER COMMENTS: (Additional information that would add value to the job description.)

To perform this job successfully, an individual should have knowledge of SAP and control logix PCS7 software; Excel spreadsheet software and Word processing software as well as programming skills in Advanced PLC programming and specialized machine controls.
