Co-manage additional CPR and EHS trainings for Sculpture students and all Student Monitors. Order individual PPE. Schedule and conduct additional training as necessary throughout the year. Perform tool specific student training throughout the year. Create an environment in which shop rules are upheld out of respect for the space. Work as a team to help all students with their projects and delegate shop upkeep clearly between team members.

Create a schedule with the Shop team including the Shop Technicians and Student Monitors, including modified schedules during academic breaks. Manage work study hours and budget and approve student monitor weekly timesheets. Work with the Facilities Director to ensure that Monitors have key card access to the shop doors, shop office, and power main during open hours. Update and maintain the Fabrication Shop Student Scheduling system to enhance the efficient and safe operation for students, staff, and faculty. Update the scheduling system for tool loaning and general shop operation system.

Supervise shop spaces over the academic year breaks (summer, winter). Lead safety incident investigations, work with key stakeholders with implementing corrective actions to ensure compliance.
