• Sharp communication skills — you’re the face of Stiles on every job site

• Proficiency in MS Office and comfort picking up proprietary systems

• Willingness to travel extensively, domestically and internationally — this is a road role and you already know that’s where you do your best work

• Ability to thrive in a fast-moving environment where priorities shift and you figure it out

Why You’ll Love This Role
