  • 1+ year of experience in technical support, operations, dispatch, fleet operations, teleoperations, systems monitoring, or a similar environment
  • Strong computer and technical troubleshooting skills
  • Comfortable monitoring multiple screens, camera feeds, and system information
  • Strong attention to detail and ability to stay focused during repetitive monitoring tasks
  • Ability to make quick, well-reasoned decisions when situations change
