- Ability to read and interpret plans, drawings, or blueprints
- Strong communication and leadership—able to direct a team and keep projects on track
- High school diploma or GED (minimum); 2–3 years of related installation experience preferred
- Willingness to work in a physical, fast-moving environment (lifting up to 64 lbs, bending, kneeling, etc.)
