  • Move frequently: sitting, climbing, balancing, stooping, kneeling, crouching, crawling, stairs, ladders, scaffolding, ramps, and poles
  • Wear personal protective equipment (PPE), including an OSHA-compliant respirator

What do you need?

  • High school diploma or GED; related experience and/or training; or equivalent combination of education and experience
  • Must possess a valid driver's license from state of residence (Company vehicle and gas card provided)
