What skills are most important for a job like yours?
I had to think about this one. You have to have a lot of skills to do this stuff, but I settled on flexibility, creativity, tenacity, and logical thinking.
And then fabrication. This is a really hands-on role that I've found myself in. I'm not sure if that's just the requirements of the role or if it's just that my background is really hands-on.
So I've kind of slipped into that. But you must have tenacity. You must be flexible. And you must be creative for sure.
