• Or: High School Diploma/GED + 3 years of relevant experience
• And: A valid NC driver’s license, because the occasional field visit might be part of your journey

Mostly office work, with a mix of sitting, standing, and moving around. Occasionally lifting light items (paper files, not filing cabinets!), and definitely using your eyes and ears a lot.
