• Mentor Level 1–3 technicians, driving quality audits and continuous skill development. 
• Track crew time, expenses, tooling, and material needs; provide clear progress reports to project management. 
• Travel inter-island up to 80 percent with occasional overnight stays; maintain DOT medical card eligibility.

• Valid driver’s license; ability to obtain or hold a DOT medical card.  
• TWIC card (or willingness to obtain) and ability to pass pre-employment background and drug screening. 

Nice-to-Have
