  • Demonstrated project management, leadership, influence, and communication skills
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office and technical presentation skills; confidence speaking in front of groups
  • Good writing skills and desire to work in a diverse, fast-paced environment
  • Willingness to travel up to 50% and provide emergency support as needed
  • Ability to work in office, plant, and field environments-including harsh, dirty, and loud conditions, sometimes in extreme weather and for extended hours
  • Physical ability to walk, stand, bend, and lift up to 50 lbs; ability to use keyboard and computer for long intervals
  • Preferred: Postgraduate degree in Engineering or related field
