• Ability to detect leaks (hearing and smell required).
• Skilled with hand tools, power tools, and job‑related equipment.
• Safety‑first mindset with commitment to company, state, and federal regulations.
• Previous propane/gas service experience is a plus—but not required (we’ll train the right candidate!).
