Working Conditions

This position involves varying degrees of exposure to risk of accident and requires following basic safety precautions. Work is normally performed in a shared work environment, divided between the shop floor and an atypical interior work space. While not regularly exposed to hazardous materials, the potential to encounter such hazards requires wearing chemical resistant protective wear as necessary. This position does, however, require wearing full PPE always to protect from mobile equipment and hot materials when on the shop floor.

This position requires heavy physical activity, such as walking, sitting, and standing for long periods of time.

This position also requires a flexible work schedule, which includes working the occasional weekend, as requested.
