* Uphold company policies, especially regarding the protection of sensitive customer information.

Work Details

* Full-time position: Monday to Friday, 7:30 AM - 5:00 PM.

* Overtime opportunities available.

* Occasional travel and overnight stays required.

* On call requirements - 1/6 weeks on call with standby rates time and a half Monday - Saturday and double time on Sunday. Includes pay per call out but a lot can be completed remotely
