This version:
Removes higher-level responsibilities (estimating, vendor management, cost control decisions)
Keeps skill expectations high (so you don’t attract entry-level/unqualified candidates)
Still screens for independence and efficiency, just without the “lead” pressure
If you want, I can also create a paired “Lead vs Technician” comparison so candidates (and your team) clearly understand the difference.
