• Ability to communicate confidently in customer‑facing environments
• Willingness to travel frequently within North America, with occasional international travel
• Ability to lift heavy equipment and work in industrial environments
• Valid driver’s license and passport (or ability to obtain both)
• Strong problem‑solving skills and a willingness to learn
• Ability to work independently and as part of a small team
