+ Proficiency with Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint).
+ Familiarity with OSHA safety practices and ability to work safely in field environments.
+ Must reside in the Chicago to Milwaukee (Lake Michigan) corridor to support regional EA business needs.
+ Valid driver’s license in good standing; must be at least 21 years old to participate in the company vehicle program.
+ Must be legally authorized to work in the U.S. without current or future employer sponsorship.
**Preferred Qualifications:**
