- Not afraid to get dirty literally. This work is physical, requiring you to occasionally lift up to 50 pounds, and your clothes will need a good wash at the end of the day. Picture a construction zone or similar type environment the conditions youll be working in are a lot like that.
- Dont be afraid to challenge both sides of your brain. The accuracy and detail of our reports is just as important as discovering deficiencies. Submitting thorough reports is a crucial component of our quest toward ensuring public safety.
- As someone who knows the business and appreciates the industry, we expect you to mentor, empower, and guide fellow staff. We encourage career growth.
