• Support and assist clients as they implement solutions to mitigate the identified risks
• Working from a home office and travel to clients' facilities daily (overnight travel is expected 3-5 nights per month, or around 15-25%)
• Minimum of a bachelor’s degree in engineering (various specialties considered)
• Strong verbal and written English communications skills
• Good analytical, organizational, problem solving, and interpersonal skills
• Efficient time management ability with minimal supervision
• Solid technical aptitude including diverse knowledge of engineering principles
