About The Position

The work schedule includes some weekdays, Saturdays and/or Sundays, from November 6, 2026 through March 1, 2027. Depending on the facility, duties may be performed indoors or outdoors, potentially in extreme weather conditions. Work schedules may include early mornings, evenings, weekends, and holidays.
