What We're Looking For
We are looking for more than someone who simply knows how to use the tools.
The right person should be experienced enough that management can provide the scope of work, review the project expectations, and trust them to execute the work correctly without constant supervision.
You should be able to look ahead at the next phase of work, recognize when something does not look right, ask questions when necessary, and take ownership of the quality of your work.
