• Passion for motivating people, instilling accountability, and achieving results.
• Comfortable using standard computer programs like Excel, Word, and Outlook.
• Ability to effectively delegate work to the team.
• Read, write, speak, create, understand, and explain English directions, documents, safety rules, etc.
• Ability to use analytical skills, critical thinking, and intermediate math skills to solve complex problems.
