Remote:

Employees who are working in Remote roles will work primarily offsite (from home). An employee may be expected to travel to the site location as needed.

Position is remote; however, if you live within a reasonable commute of a Collins site with other colleagues you interact with, your manager will discuss whether there is a degree of onsite presence associated with this role.
