    • Communication Skills: The ability to communicate verbally and in writing with all levels of employees and management, capable of successful formal and informal communication, speaks and writes clearly and understandably at the right level. 
    • Timely communication within the team, and not undermining each other, is critical. Share knowledge. 
    • Integrity and Trust: Involves being widely trusted, being seen as a direct, truthful individual, can present the unvarnished truth in an appropriate and helpful manner, keeps confidences, admits mistakes, and doesn’t misrepresent him/herself for personal gain. 
    • Teamwork: Involves working well in a collaborative setting, supporting work team by volunteering for and completing assignments, acting as a positive team member by contributing to discussions, developing, and maintaining both formal and informal relationships enterprise-wide, defines success in terms of the entire team through mentoring and knowledge transfer. 
    • Technical Expertise: Involves demonstrating a commitment to increasing knowledge and skills in current technical/functional area, keeping up to date on technical developments, staying informed as to industry practices, knowing how to apply relevant technical processes to appropriate business needs. 
    • Dedication: Involves demonstrating a desire to dedicate time and energy to accomplish goals, tasks, assignments, etc. Will do what it takes to get things done.

    • Motivation: Demonstrate consistent drive to grow. Many of our candidates exhibit some of the requirements and qualities mentioned, but only recent instead of throughout the years being with the team. Therefore, their motivations and track records require more time to evaluate, especially when it comes to the qualities to follow. 
    • Documentation: Our projects and workloads can feel like we are working in silos, but part of communication is the ability to properly document everything for the team. Instead of keeping everything to yourself, a conscientious effort to label equipment, update assets, update port management, update photos, upload drawings etc. is a plus to help us help each other. 
    • Organization: Often, we are tasked with handling multiple, lengthy projects. This takes a lot of planning and preparation on top of day-to-day support. We need someone who is detail oriented in planning ahead, instead of panicking at the last minute, putting blame on others. A candidate with good organizational skills should also keep things tidy, such as neatly route cables, remove unused equipment, and not just install equipment haphazardly for others to cleanup later. 
    • Customer Conscious: We were taught to strive for zero downtime, which means working at all hours to accommodate operational needs, not for our own benefit and risk causing hardships for our customers and peers afterwards. This also requires double-checking, at times triple-checking, our work, and following up on unfinished work. As an example, volunteering to work overtime, but left kiosks with broken card readers at an outstation for months, is not a quality we desire in someone who wants to become a system engineer.
