Description
People Who Thrive Here...
Forget the traditional job requirements for a second. Here's who actually succeeds in this role:
Fast Learners
You pick things up quickly. When someone shows you how to do something once or twice, you've got it. You're not afraid to ask questions, but you also don't need to ask the same question five times.
Hands-On Problem Solvers
You'd rather figure something out than sit around waiting for instructions. You like the satisfaction of physically building or fixing something. When something doesn't work, you troubleshoot instead of giving up.
Patient & Detail-Oriented
You understand that quality takes time. You don't cut corners. When you finish a job, you're proud of how it looks and how it works. You check your work.
Team Players Who Communicate
You work well with others. You speak up when you need help. You can explain what you did and why. You're the kind of person people actually want to work with.
Growth-Minded
You're not just looking for a paycheck – you want to build something. You want skills that matter. You're thinking about where you'll be in two years, not just next week.
