• Maintain trailer inventory and order consumables in a timely manner: The lead must stay ahead of material needs to successfully keep projects moving forward.

• Must be able to lead, motivate, and upskill reporting team members.

• Must be able to competently use a grinder to scarf fiberglass layers and visually identify ply layers/ types of fiberglass.
