Second Shift: Monday through Friday, 2:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m.

Third Shift: Sunday evening through Friday morning, 10:30 p.m. to 6:30 a.m.

Training for these positions may temporarily take place on first shift before transitioning to the regular second and third shift schedules.

• A dependable, self-motivated, and team-oriented approach.
• Clear communication and good problem-solving skills.
• A strong commitment to safe work practices.
