• Good judgment, professionalism, and the ability to maintain confidentiality.

• Initiative, adaptability, and a willingness to learn.

• Comfort using technology and managing multiple priorities.

Experience in recruiting, onboarding, training, or project coordination is a plus, but not required. Familiarity with industrial distribution, manufacturing, or technical trades is also helpful.

We offer competitive compensation and a comprehensive benefits package, including:
