The Colorado Department of Education defines "Professional" using the following descriptors:
time & work management
career literacy
grit and resilience
work ethic; dependable and reliable
My Personal Definition:
In my opinion, professional isn't just time and work management, grit, resilience, and work ethic, but also the attitude and joy you bring to the work environment. Along with the amount of detail that is put into every single action, always striving to make a difference in the work that you do not just because it's your job, but to make the world a little better.

Communication Skills: This skill is one of the most essential skills to have in this profession since half of the time is spent at construction sites communicating to workers. So I had to greatly develop this skill in order to form better relationships with everyone and communicate more efficiently.
Time Management: Time management was something I needed to work on since I only had a limited amount of time at the site to get a certain amount of work done. I needed to become more efficient at planning ahead and working through things in a orderly fashion.
Leadership Skills: Being a leader and knowing how to be in charge was really important out in the field at sites since we had to be the ones that conducted the tests and told the supervisors if they needed to do more work, change something, or if it was good. So during that time we were in charge we needed to have that skill and be good at it.
