  • Communication: Ability to read, write, speak, and understand English clearly to follow safety instructions, read gauges, and communicate via radio.

  • Basic Math & Problem Solving: Solid commonsense problem-solving skills and basic arithmetic skills for monitoring equipment gauges and operations.
