General Job Notes:

The spring/summer/fall schedule is relatively standard with a typical day being from 7:30 AM to 5:30 PM Monday to Thursday. The potential for weekend work and overtime hours may be present during the busy spring season, or if we experience rain delays during the week.

Winter work will have sporadic scheduling as we work when it snows. This may mean overnights on some occasions, day shifts on others or typical hours when the tasks permit. Long shifts, up to approximately 12 hours, are also highly probable during winter work hours.

It goes without saying that this job is physically demanding, and as such, a strong work ethic is required, as well as a basic level of physical preparedness. The ability to thrive while working in outdoor environments, in rain and snow, is crucial. Applicants should be able to safely lift a minimum of 60 pounds, as well.
