Excellent customer service and communication skills, with a professional, respectful demeanor.
Proven ability to work effectively in a team environment and coordinate tasks during moves.
Flexibility to travel, work variable hours, and respond to changing job demands.
Self-disciplined, reliable, and able to work with minimal supervision.

Desirable Skills:

Prior experience as a professional mover or in household goods relocation.
Familiarity with Wilmington, NC and surrounding regional routes.
Experience using basic moving tools and equipment (dollies, straps, pads, ramps).
Background in a customer-facing trades or service role.
