• Proficiency with standard business productivity and document-authoring tools.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience supporting a command center, operations center, security operations, utility, emergency management, critical infrastructure, industrial, or similarly procedure-driven environment.
• Experience creating both operating procedure documentation and training/learning content.
