About the Role:

This role is in the Green Bay territory and may travel outside of their territory at times.***
Schedule: Four 9-hour shifts, 4 days per week. Hours will be either 7 a.m.–4 p.m. or 8 a.m.–5 p.m., depending on POD needs. Minimum every 3rd weekend (currently working every 8th weekend – 12-hour shifts) on call 10-15 shifts per year, 1-2 holidays per year
