REQUIREMENTS

CORE VALUES

EFFICIENCY is a big part of our company culture. To us this means being able to do more with less, always finding better, smarter and easier ways to do things without compromising quality. Increasing efficiency in all aspects of company and team function, increases the overall growth potential of the company.

ORGANIZATION is equally important. It enables your ability to be both efficient and effective. Organization to us means using tools (calendars, SharePoint and other internal tools) to keep things where they need to be. It also means taking appropriate notes when being assigned a task so that the task can be completed to meet expectations. Organization also includes having guides and documents created and in the right places so that yourself and others can easily refer back to be able to complete a task.

Being HIGHLY DETAIL ORIENTED is key and we need an individual who has an amazing eye for details! Being detail oriented reduces the need to go back and forth between different individuals we work with (internal or external). We always strive to do things right the first time and learn from mistakes quickly, so they never occur again.
