Assisting with Tire Installation: A helper may assist in removing old tires from vehicles, fetching new tires from inventory, and carrying them to the work area. They may also help hold tires in place during installation and hand tools to the primary technician as needed. Preparing Tires for Retreading: In a retreading facility, a helper may assist in the initial inspection of tire casings, helping to identify any defects or damage. They may also help with the buffing process by operating machinery or preparing materials for repair and reinforcement. Handling Equipment and Materials: Helpers may be responsible for handling and organizing tools, equipment, and materials in both tire fitting and retreading settings. This includes ensuring that work areas are clean and orderly to facilitate efficient workflow. Safety and Quality Assurance: Helpers play a crucial role in maintaining a safe working environment by following safety protocols and assisting with the proper handling of equipment and materials. They may also help with quality control measures by assisting in inspections and reporting any issues to the primary technician. Customer Service: While the primary technician interacts directly with customers, helpers may still play a role in providing assistance and support as needed. This could include greeting customers, answering basic questions, and ensuring that customer vehicles are handled with care.
