  • Reporting: Complete and file reports based on field observations and engagements, ensuring clear communication with the team.

Who You Are

  • Reliable & Organized: Punctual, responsible, and detail-oriented.

  • Self-Starter: Energetic, self-motivated, and able to work independently without direct supervision.

  • Adaptable: Comfortable working in a fast-paced, dynamic environment where things can change quickly.
