Proven ability to multitask, solve complex problems independently, maintain meticulous attention to detail, and work productively in variable outdoor conditions (weather, terrain, remote/urban settings).
Proficiency with technology, including smartphones, tablets, GPS/navigation, mapping software, data collection apps, and basic computer systems for reporting and documentation.
Valid driver’s license with a clean driving record; capable of safely operating a 4x4 vehicle on rough, unpaved, or off-road terrain.
