Hands-On Mindset: Strong passion for prototyping, experimenting, and direct service/repair experience in industrial or wind environments.
Problem-Solving & Agility: Demonstrated technical, analytical, and problem-solving skills with a preference for simple, creative solutions. Comfortable working through complex, unknown repair processes.
Communication & Interpersonal Skills: Strong oral and written communication skills with the ability to write detailed work instructions. Proven ability to effectively interact with both senior management and hourly field technicians.
