Familiarity with industry standards such as NFPA 1850, 1855, 1971, 1500, and OSHA 1910 is highly desirable, along with a Bachelor’s degree as a plus. The company values a "get-it-done" attitude and excellent attention to detail, qualities essential for meeting the rigorous standards of PPE servicing.
