• Strong analytical and creative problem-solving skills with the ability to evaluate risks and recommend effective corrective actions.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office applications, Outlook, Smartsheet, and other standard business technologies and reporting tools.
• Ability to partner with contractors, service providers, and operational teams to achieve shared safety objectives and maintain compliance standards.
