This position starts as a flexible Part-Time role. As our client base and your responsibilities expand, this role has a direct path to develop into a full-time position.

- Independence: The confidence to work independently on smaller-scoped projects and see them through to a polished finish.
- A Troubleshooting Mindset: A natural instinct for problem-solving. If you don’t know an answer immediately, you know how to safely investigate and ask for help. We work together, and value knowledge and information sharing in team meetings.
- Transportation: A valid driver’s license and a reliable personal vehicle to travel to our hub and between job sites (mileage reimbursement). Fleet vehicle will be provided once role transitions to full-time.
