Strong financial acumen, including expertise in budgeting, forecasting, and operational reporting, fuel performance, utilization, downtime, and repair costs.
Demonstrated ability to lead effectively in high-pressure, disaster recovery or emergency response environments.
Excellent communication, negotiation, and relationship-building skills across internal teams and external stakeholders.
