    Solid organization and prioritization, with a sharp eye for detail

    Working knowledge of cash flow, cost projections, job costing, and billing projections

    Proficiency in Microsoft Office

    Confidence working with all levels of management

    How you work

    You listen well, ask clarifying questions, and always follow up on time

    You take ownership of customer problems, and find the right person when you can't solve them yourself

    You do what you say you'll do

    You spot risks early and raise them

    You work independently, stay positive and welcome feedback and change
