and material stock in good order.
- Finish mock-ups to presentation quality: filling, sanding, priming, painting, wrapping, and trim application.
- Read and work from engineering drawings, templates, and straightforward CAD outputs; provide practical feedback on buildability.
- Support packing, crating, and handling of mock-ups for internal moves, demos, and exhibitions.
