• Support Project Leads by monitoring project timelines, tracking resource allocation, and troubleshooting equipment issues on site.

What You'll Bring

• Problem-Solving Skills: Sharp analytical skills to troubleshoot complex mechanical failure or flow restrictions on active job sites.
• Communication: Strong verbal and written skills to effectively coordinate with clients, dispatchers, and internal project teams.
• Education: High school diploma or equivalent required; technical certifications or degrees in mechanics, hydraulics, or engineering are a major plus.
