Strong problem-solving and communication (verbal and written) skills with the demonstrated ability to work in a fast-paced environment and adapt to changing conditions in the field, both independently and as part of a team.
Able to independently safely lift loads of up to 30kg. Standing, walking, bending, pulling and lifting frequently during field deployments, shop work, and vessel operations.
Valid NS driver’s license, Small Vessel Operator Proficiency ( SVOP ) training certificate, and ability to pass Mariners medical examination and dangerous goods certification within 6 months of hire.
