  • Able to work both inside and outside in your local climate in company-provided weather gear

  • Lots of moving around — regularly sitting, climbing, balancing, stooping, kneeling, crouching, and crawling, up and down stairs, ladders, scaffolding, ramps, and poles

  • You’ll need to wear personal protective equipment (PPE), like an OSHA-compliant respirator

What do you need?

  • Clean shaven face- for safety reasons (rebreathers have to be able to seal your face)

  • High school diploma or GED; related experience and/or training; or equivalent combination of education and experience

  • Possess a valid driver’s license in state of residence
