• Ability to accurately assess damage and select effective repair solutions.
• Skilled in the safe use of hand tools, power tools, and shop equipment.
• Experience with crate building, carpentry, packaging, or shipping preparation is preferred.
• Strong attention to detail, craftsmanship, and quality standards.
