• Strong verbal and written communication skills.
• Strong degree of self‑initiative, and desire to learn and apply engineering skills to develop creative designs that address complex problems.
• Demonstrated experience with Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint; experience with Bluebeam Revu and ArcGIS is a plus.
