Schedule
This position will include a combination of planned work and variable work on an as-needed basis. Most planned work occurs between 7 am – 5 pm, Monday – Friday. The variable work will fluctuate and can include some nights & weekends. This is due to variations in customer needs, and the time-sensitive nature of our work. Timing of work in this position can be flexible, and supervisors work with employees based on their availability.
An example might be that the employee and their supervisor agree upon a recurring schedule for their planned work (ex: 7am to 3pm on Tuesday & Thursdays).
