This is an active, outdoor field role. You'll work in varying weather conditions, on uneven terrain, and around active construction. Expect time in a bucket truck up to 40 feet in the air, carrying equipment, and standing or walking for extended stretches. Safety comes first, always. We provide PPE (hard hats, safety vests, gloves, ear protection). You'll need to supply your own protective footwear and appropriate work attire.
