  • Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and ability to report system issues during maintenance procedures.
  • Ability to maintain accurate service records and clearly document work completed, findings, and reported concerns.
  • Professional communication skills, both verbal and written, with internal teams, facility managers, and commercial clients.
  • Ability to work independently and as part of a team, manage time effectively, and complete work with minimal supervision.
  • Understanding of OSHA safety protocols and commitment to following company, customer, and industry safety standards.
  • Ability to read, understand, and follow customer SOPs and site-specific requirements.
