Plating Machine Setter, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic

You arrive at the busy industrial plant in Memphis, Tennessee, the distinct smell of chemicals already in the air. First, you pull on your safety glasses, steel-toed boots, earplugs, and chemical-resistant gloves from your locker. You head straight to your assigned plating line, checking the production schedule on the whiteboard. Today starts with a large batch of small steel components requiring nickel plating. You begin by verifying the solution levels in the massive tank and inspecting the rectifiers and overhead hoist system, ensuring everything is ready.
