Personal Characteristics

Specific personal characteristics, which are inherent and challenging to teach, are necessary for long-term success in this role. These include:

Work Ethic- The kind of person we want has a natural motivation to work hard and stay busy; to be task oriented and not be lazy or look for ways to avoid work. This also includes being punctual and having good attendance. In return, we believe in rewarding people who do an excellent job with competitive compensation, benefits, and promotional opportunities.

Attitude – The kind of person we want, rolls through difficult situations, and finds solutions rather than getting stuck on problems. The type of person we are looking for is predictably positive and is not unpredictably moody.

Aptitude – Even if the skill sets aren’t there yet, one’s aptitude is their potential to perform the role successfully. For example, someone who grew up on a farm or has other “hands-on” type hobbies, for instance, may not have fabricated structural steel before, but there is a good chance they have the potential to learn and be successful in our production environment.

Maturity – Maturity is having good character, not gossiping, not being overly dramatic, and being a trustworthy coworker. The type of person we are looking for realizes things will not always go perfectly or as planned, and they can weather the storm and continue to treat others with respect.

Communication – The type of person we seek excels at communication between the IT department and the end user. The ideal candidate will routinely send progress updates to end users experiencing problems.

Personable – The ideal candidate is approachable, empathetic, and genuinely interested in assisting others.

Commitment to Life-Long Learning – The ideal candidate acknowledges lifelong learning needs. The IT industry is constantly changing, and one needs to continue to learn to be successful.

Education – Prefer candidates near completion of an associate degree.

Experience – Familiarity with a Microsoft Windows environment is required. General Knowledge in C# and SQL is also needed.
