This position is a full-time, permanent position.

Intermediate level positions tend to be more field-based; hence willingness and ability to travel and do a field rotational shift schedule is required. Exact shift scheduling requirements could vary and depend upon project needs as well as specific hiring location.

Senior level positions tend to be mostly office-based, working a standard Mon – Fri, 40 hrs weekly, 8 hrs daily working schedule. Although these positions tend to be more office-based, there could be some opportunity to still travel to the field (dependent upon specific hiring location).

Triton promotes and encourages a collaborative working team culture; hence a hybrid work schedule is preferred (remote and coming into the office). However, there could be potential to make the schedule more flexible, including having a more remote working schedule.

COMPENSATION

The pay range can be anywhere from $30 to $65 per hour, depending on candidate-specific experience and qualifications, as well as specific hiring location.
