  • Valid Virginia driver's license (or ability to meet licensing requirements) with at least 3 years of licensed driving experience.
  • Virginia DEQ Stormwater and Erosion & Sediment Control (ESC) certification, or the ability to obtain it within 6 months.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills.
