  • Ability to work in a fast-paced, safety-critical environment
  • Strong situational awareness and attention to detail
  • Ability to follow procedures and safety instructions precisely
  • Clear verbal communication skills
  • Willingness to work assigned shifts, including nights, weekends, and holidays

Preferred Qualifications
