What We're Looking For

• Ability to read and interpret blueprints and shop drawings — or a strong willingness to learn
• Proficiency with Microsoft Outlook and Excel; SAP experience is a plus
• CAD experience and familiarity with Adobe Acrobat are bonuses
• Exceptional organizational skills and attention to detail — you manage multiple priorities without dropping the ball
